All... the time... [ He looks down... that would be nice... ] That won't... be dangerous for them, will it? Though I suppose since no one comes here anymore it might be all right...

[karappo]

Even if it were dangerous, I think they would be alright. You would be here to protect and watch over them, non?

[Like a good...parent...]

[matteimasu]

Ah... w-well yes, but...

...I'm not sure how able I'd be to protect them if something went wrong...

[ he couldn't protect his island after all... ]

[karappo]

Well...when you become a caretaker, you find that you discover ways to keep them safe even if you did not think you could.

[It's a roundabout way of saying when you're a parent you will do EVERYTHING you can to protect your children.

And Megami, technically...is their parent too.]

I would trust them in your care.

[That and they're not actually babies anymore at least, they're adults more or less.]

[matteimasu]

[ He's still unsure but that Poseidon would trust him with them makes his heart flutter a little ] If... If you say so then... But... I do think it'd be better if you came with them... ...I know I would like that. A lot. N-Not just for my peace of mind.

[karappo]

Oh, of course I would.

[As he says this, he reaches down to ever so gently pet the top of his snake head with a finger.]

Trust me, I may trust you...but I cannot say I would trust them alone with you for a while...

[matteimasu]

[ Okay that does get him to laugh ] I suppose they do sound like troublemakers... they're not that bad though, are they? [ yes ]

[karappo]

[Not...that bad...]

They can be...fairly bad...though I do not think they ever mean any real harm in it.

[matteimasu]

I see... I suppose I'll find that out for myself soon.

[ a pause ]

Um... I'm gonna try changing back now.

[ just warning him so it doesn't startle him again ]

[karappo]

Oh! Yes, yes of course. Go right ahead.

[He'll hold his palm out a little flatter, just to give him some room.]

[matteimasu]

[ He appreciates that a lot and once he has the extra room he poofs right back into his humanoid form Or almost. Truth is he went back to his natural form, which doesn't have legs, but a long snake tail like a mer would have a fish's ........He doesn't seem to notice this. ] Ah, thank you.

[karappo]

[Ah.

Poseidon blinks, slowly, and stares at Megami for a long moment...looking him over with intrigue as he feels the weight of the snake tail against his hand.

....that's actually kindof hot interesting.]

That is...an interesting look, Megami.

[matteimasu]

...Huh? [ He looks down, and sees his tail. ... ... ... softly: ] Fuck.

[karappo]

[LANGUAGE]

I- ...is- it a bad thing?

[Is it bad that he finds it hot?? Oh god no]

[matteimasu]

N-No, just...

[ he sighs and mumbles ]

This is what I get for being distracted...

[ he looks back up to Poseidon, curling his tail in around him ]

Th-This is my... natural form... My real one.

It always alarmed people so I just... only showed myself to others with legs... at least while outside of the lake...

[ and even then, he kept the tail hidden when people came to see him there ]

[karappo]

Natural...really?

[Well, color him surprised. He turns his hand to the side just a bit so he can look at the tail Megami now suddenly has, watching the way it coils around him in a much larger form of the snake body he had before. He can see why it frightened humans, but to Poseidon?

Well...

He smiles a little, his fins flicking downward.]

I...I believe it suits you.

1/2

[matteimasu]

[matteimasu]

[ WELL THANKS NOW HIS FACE IS RED AGAIN ] Y...You do? A-Ah... You... are being too kind... I-I'm starting to wonder if y-you're flirting with me. [ I mean If he is you literally brought that on yourself Megami by openly admitting to your crush on him ]

[karappo]

Flirting? Ahah, well...that depends on your definition of it.

[No, you're...literally flirting with him??? Don't pretend you aren't, you are.]

But if you were thinking I would find this form of yours shocking or alarming...I am sorry to say that I do not. If anything, it reminds me more of myself than anything else would.

[matteimasu]

Oh... yours is rather serpentine, isn't it...?

[ He looks at Poseidon's tail and then back at his own ]

I never realized before... indeed, aside from the fishy part they really are quite similar...

I suppose it makes sense, since we are both water dwelling gods...

[karappo]

[Poseidon nods slowly, wondering if this is the first time he's made that connection...and it seems like that assumption proves to be true, given what he says.]

You do not have to worry about which form you take with me, you know. Whatever makes you the most comfortable.

[matteimasu]

[ he laughs, though there's little humor behind it right now. ] So I could turn into an actual giant snake and you wouldn't mind? [ he feels like he would but... well it's nice to hear his real form is fine... ]

[karappo]

A-ah-

[WHEN YOU SAY THAT IT MAKES HIM THINK YOU'RE GONNA...]

If you wanted to be one, I would be perfectly fine with it. To be honest with you, you are the first snake I have seen in person, so...

[matteimasu]

[ HE WON'T BECAUSE BEING BIGGER IS EXHAUSTING BUT IT'S A THOUGHT That other thing surprises him though ] Really? I thought there were some in the ocean... ah but I guess they still stick close enough to shallow water you wouldn't see them... they're quite plentiful in lakes and rivers in some places, and of course on land! I suppose you haven't touched one before either then? I guarantee my tail probably feels much different from yours. [ and obviously can't feel shit through the gauntlets ]

[karappo]

[That's...a rather unusual thing to ask...and for some reason, it makes him blush fiercely.]

N...no, I have not...

[Does...is he offering his tail to be touched?

????]

Um...is it okay if I...?
