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...?

[matteimasu]

[ ......... well NOW he is. If he can get some payback for all that blushing Poseidon made him do then he's going for it ] If you would like. I don't mind. [ he even starts uncoiling it, lifting up parts of it to help with that ]

[karappo]

[Poseidon blinks slowly, balling his free hand into a fist for a moment. The stone in the center of his chest glows a bright blue for a few seconds until the gauntlet on that hand disappears with a duller flash of blue and white, leaving his hand bare.

Only then does he reach over to use one fingertip to geeeently pet the length of Megami's tail, and when he does his eyes widen immediately.]

Ah....it is so soft...

[His is very rough in places, especially if felt opposite the grain of the way his scales grow. Not to mention occasionally slick because...well, he's a fish.

He kindof thought Megami would be slimy, to be honest.]

[matteimasu]

[ RUDE of course he's not slimy! Megami smiles though, watching Poseidon pet him. Then, with little warning, he flicks his tail up and wraps it around Poseidon's finger ] Isn't it? I try my best to take care of it even if no one sees it... [ he is mostly watching for Poseidon's reaction though ]

[karappo]

[Poseidon had been enjoying the softness of Megami's tail, at least until it's suddenly wrapped around that same finger, prompting him to go still.

...he did that on purpose, he had to. Right?]

Uhh...

[...it takes him a moment to realize he isn't saying anything, to which he shakes his head quickly and nods.]

It is! I have never...felt anything like it.

[matteimasu]

[ Megami's grin widens, and he props his elbows up on a section of tail, resting his face in his hands. ] Is that why you seem at a loss for words? [ And then he tightens his tail's grip on the sea god, squeezing gently but firmly ]

no I lied im using them

[karappo]

[Okay he IS doing it on purpose-

Poseidon's own tail, speaking of, curls in the shallows along the edge of the island, the flat of the fin slapping the water briefly until he realizes it's moving and makes it dip back under the water entirely.

...he squints, then coughs on a laugh.]

P...Perhaps I am simply dazzled by it's beauty.

LEWD

[matteimasu]

[ Well shit that gets him to blush again... but it's ok these reactions make it worth it. ] Really? Unfortunately, it's honestly a little plain as far as snakes go. [ He uncurls the tail suddenly and releases Poseidon, letting it fall and hang off the hand he's still perched on. It sways back and forth like someone swaying their legs would. His grin is still there; he's determined to not get beat here after being flustered so much already. ] I'm glad you think it's beautiful though. Because touching a snake's tail for that long means you'll have to marry me now~ [ HE'S JOKING.............ri.......ght............. (yes) ]

WHAT A SHIT

[karappo]

[Poseidon pulls his hand back reflexively, though he doesn't re-don his gauntlet. It looks a little weird only wearing one, but it's...fine, for now.

He watches Megami carefully as he swings his tail like that, a bit surprised to hear him call it plain, and yet-]

...................

...eh?

[...but is he

Poseidon doesn't know, he doesn't know how lesser water gods work, much less...snake bodied ones...]

:3c

[matteimasu]

[ He has a hard time not bursting out laughing but he manages to refrain himself and just keep smiling again ] Is that a problem? You said I'd never be alone again right? [ and you keep FLIRTING!! ]

1/2

[karappo]

[Don't you dare laugh because Poseidon is taking this Very Seriously.]

I...I m-mean...

[The mighty King of the Sea sputters like a twitterpated school girl, unable to find his words while Megami just continues to look on, smugly. Oh how the turn tables.]

[karappo]

[He's...he probably does understand that Megami can't possibly be talking seriously about this, but at the same time the thought of it- the serious thought of not being "alone" anymore in that sense- resonates deeply with Poseidon.

So, without a hint of irony, he holds Megami up to eye level and says:]

It is true. I did promise that. ...and here I thought most gods were fickle, yet now I must make such a commitment...

[matteimasu]

[ MISTAKES HAVE BEEN MADE AGAIN ]

[matteimasu]

[ His face turns the reddest it's been yet ] I-I-I-I WAS J-JOKING!! TH-THERE'S NO SUCH THING, H-H-HOLDING A SNAKE'S TAIL M-M-M-MEANS N-N-NOTHING...! [ and then he's pulling his tail in and coiling it around himself again, turning away from Poseidon and ducking into the coils to hide his face again just as he did as a normal snake ] I-I-I WAS J-J-JUST TRYING TO F-FLUSTER YOU...!

[karappo]

[...oh.

Seems like everyone is making mistakes today, um]

M-Megami??

[Suddenly the goddess isn't facing him anymore, and he pulls back long enough to appear porperly flabbergasted as his fins pin down against the sides of his head.]

I- I am sorry, I did not upset you did I?!

[matteimasu]

[ His coils tighten and if it were not for this height he would retreat to his lake so fast ] N-NO, N-N-NOT AT ALL!! Y-YOU JUST... I-I-I-I JUST-- I-I D-DIDN'T THINK YOU'D T-TAKE IT S-S-SERIOUSLY--- N-N-NOT THAT I'D M-MIND THOUGH? I-IF YOU W-WERE?? ITACTUALLYSOUNDSKINDOFNICEOHNOWHATAMISAYING--?!?! [ okay, deep breaths deep breaths... ] ...I-I'm s-s-sorry...

[karappo]

[Okay. So, he thinks he heard something along the lines of Megami finding the idea of marrying him to be nice in that jumble of unintelligible words. And Poseidon, for one, has turned such a shade of red that if he were able he would have smoke pouring from ears he does not have.

So, what is he to do in this situation? Well. What started out as some friendly banter and ribbing turned into something a little more serious than that, so he...has to try to take it seriously, for a moment. He takes a breath or two himself to compose himself.]

Megami. You...you said that the other gods attempted to...court you for some time. Right?

[matteimasu]

[ he peaks out from his coils enough to see that shade of red and it somehow makes him feel even more embarrassed, rather than the satisfied he'd been earlier ] Y... Yes...
