[She smirks devilishly to herself when she sees he's not looking, and takes advantage of that to whisper something to her fish before turning her attention back to Choromatsu.]
It sure has, hasn't it? Your mean ol' dad decided I shouldn't be hanging around you guys, so he decided I'd be better off aaall the way out here...that wasn't very nice, was it?
[It's actually something she's still pissed off about, in fact.]
But you sure look like you've had a good life! Look at you, all cute and dolled up!
[She finally moves from her perch and swims down towards Choromatsu, circling him slowly as if giving him a once over.]
You've sure got the looks of a Prince...I would...kill for some of these baubles.
[She says this as she suddenly reaches up to let her hand pass beneath the beads hanging behind one of his ears before her fingers trail away and she swims on.]
But I am sure you didn't just come here to show it off, right?
[Of course...Poseidon has weaved many a cautionary tale about the things she's done to his sons...but if Choromatsu has come to her seeking something when his dad is literal god of the sea, then she has more than enough leverage here to get him believing her instead.
She decides to act coy, tilting her head a little with her ear fins drooping.]
[Wow. That...surprises even Totoko, who's expression falls just a little as Choromatsu explains his situation. She exchanges a brief glance with her fish still circling the area before folding one arm across her front, her other coming up so her hand can rest along her cheek.]
Well well well. It sounds like you've gotten yourself into a whole lot of trouble. Guess that explains what all of that noise was last night...
He destroyed my haven - the place where I stored all my most precious human things, stole a gift they both gave me, and if that wasn't enough already, he's forbidden me from ever going to the shore and seeing them ever again!
[ He's getting a lot more emotional now. ]
I know he's probably made it so the sea will stop me if I try to go back... but I can't accept this! I have to see them again! I won't be able to live with this heartache otherwise...!
But I... I don't know how... there isn't even anywhere I can go in this ocean where my father won't find me...
[Oh wow, this is...very, very dramatic...he's definitely Poseidon's son, alright. But she's also surprised by the fact that Choromatsu would have fallen in love with humans...after all, she's heard the stores of the dangers of them, even though she doesn't believe or put much stock into them herself. Not when you're as powerful as she is.
She clicks her tongue and swims towards Choromatsu when she notices him getting himself worked up, and without prompting she reaches out and tilts his chin up so he'll look at her, brushing his bangs off his forehead at the same time.]
But that is exactly why you came to me. Your dear old daddy might have done some horrible, nasty things...but I am only here to help. You have come to the right place! Poseidon himself isn't the only one with magic, after all~
[She smiles, staying very close to Choromatsu as she speaks.]
Now then...what you want is to be able to see your human loves again. To be able to visit the shores of humans once more, right?
[Totoko laughs, a trill of a sound as her tentacles sway beneath and around her like a massive skirt.]
That's what I do, after all. I give people what they want...helping poor, unfortunate souls, just like you.
[She draws her hand across his forehead again, letting her fingers linger in his hair.]
But love...is very tricky to work with. It's like a kind of magic all its own...but what I can do is get you past whatever pesky barrier your father has put in place to keep you in the sea.
[She moves around behind Choromatsu, then, leaning against him from behind with her hand on his shoulder so she can whisper in his ear.]

Y-Y-Yes... I-I'm... P-Prince Ch-Ch-Choromatsu...
[ He pauses ]
...I-It's been a long t-time...
[ Yes he is avoiding addressing the fact he came here at all ]
no subject
It sure has, hasn't it? Your mean ol' dad decided I shouldn't be hanging around you guys, so he decided I'd be better off aaall the way out here...that wasn't very nice, was it?
[It's actually something she's still pissed off about, in fact.]
But you sure look like you've had a good life! Look at you, all cute and dolled up!
no subject
He does a lot of things that aren't very nice...
[ Choromatsu come on, this was ONE time
The compliment(??) gets him blushing even more furiously though, to the extent that he holds his cheeks with both hands ]
R-R-Really? Y-You think I look c-cute?!
no subject
Are you kidding?
[She finally moves from her perch and swims down towards Choromatsu, circling him slowly as if giving him a once over.]
You've sure got the looks of a Prince...I would...kill for some of these baubles.
[She says this as she suddenly reaches up to let her hand pass beneath the beads hanging behind one of his ears before her fingers trail away and she swims on.]
But I am sure you didn't just come here to show it off, right?
no subject
But of course... it's time for business. ]
Y-Yes...
I came because... they said you could help me... w-with a problem I have...
no subject
Mhmm, they're right about that. Merfolk come to me aall the time about their problems...at least, they used to.
[She pouts, making a show of sticking out her bottom lip as she swims back a little, petting one of her fish as it swims by.]
Nobody wants to come visit me anymore...so I'm all alone down here all the time, with only my pets here to keep me company.
It's not really fair, you know? I really just want to help people, but nobody will even give me a chance.
[You damn know well why.]
no subject
But then a part of his mind reminds him that she was... a bit of a brat the last time they met ]
...Didn't you do a bunch of bad things though?
no subject
[Of course...Poseidon has weaved many a cautionary tale about the things she's done to his sons...but if Choromatsu has come to her seeking something when his dad is literal god of the sea, then she has more than enough leverage here to get him believing her instead.
She decides to act coy, tilting her head a little with her ear fins drooping.]
Eh? What sorts of bad things...?
no subject
[ he barely remembers what she had them do but. he knows.... that was a thing.... ]
no subject
I was a little girl, still learning my magic! Would you really hold something as silly as that against me now?
[Honestly, she's done...WAY worse to other Merfolk by now.]
no subject
[ cHORO,,,,,,,,,, ]
no subject
Exactly. You guys were just as bad as I was, so you shouldn't go pointing fingers like that!
[She turns away from him, briefly.]
Imagine if people judged you like that for stuff you did in the past...for the rest of your life...
[She sniffs, bringing a hand up to her face.]
no subject
[ THEY STILL DO COME TO THINK OF IT... ]
Yeah it... it sucks...
B-But don't worry! I-I mean... I'm here n-now, right...?
no subject
You are, aren't you...? So what is it exactly that you want from me, Prince Choromatsu?
no subject
[ He looks away and starts fidgeting again, one hand going up to where the pendant was until a few hours ago ]
I... have fallen in love. With... two humans. They have both returned my feelings and like each other too, so we entered a... relationship of sorts.
[ He pauses, his eyes starting to sting again as he recalls what happened just a few hours previous ]
But... my father has found out.
no subject
[Wow. That...surprises even Totoko, who's expression falls just a little as Choromatsu explains his situation. She exchanges a brief glance with her fish still circling the area before folding one arm across her front, her other coming up so her hand can rest along her cheek.]

I can make you human, Choromatsu.

[ he can't believe what he's hearing. he breaks away from her, turning in place to face her ]
You... You can really do that...?
no subject
Oh, of course! I've transformed merfolk into all sorts of things...including humans.
[She just isn't going to let him know what ever happened to them.]
