Ah, well... it's a little embarrassing but... Mostly they change into the same size as me... I was just thinking about that, I suppose... ...And also about... showing you my lake before I leave it... maybe...

[karappo]

[Oh...that has Poseidon deflating just a little. Of course they would have done that, should they be courting him...meanwhile he's the size of a blue whale and has no choice but to hold him in his hand and not really do much more than that.

It really puts things into perspective, actually.

So he sits there quietly for a long moment, just...thinking.]

...I could...perhaps try, if you wanted me to.

[matteimasu]

... [ he thinks on it too for a bit ] ...If you want to. I would not want you to feel like you have to just for my sake, and I do like you at this size, you know. [ it makes Poseidon feel more honest to him... more sincere and disingenuous. Just coming as he is. ...but he also remembers Poseidon mentioning Zeus was lucky enough to be able to embrace his wife at all so... ] It was just a curiosity, that's all.

[karappo]

[He huffs a soft laugh, his tail curling in the water a bit.]

I do appreciate the sentiment...there are many times I wish I could be smaller, though. Just small enough to properly do certain things. Specifically with our children as they were growing up...

[But he knows it would not do to dwell on that too much now. As he said, he never thought about trying...at least not until now.]

I would very much like to be able to hug you, at least.

[matteimasu]

[ his face goes bright red again ] O-Oh... I... ...I-I would like that too... [ ... ] I-If you cannot become smaller though, I... I-I could try... t-to become bigger...

[karappo]

[Oh. Well that gets his attention.]

Become...bigger, you say?

[matteimasu]

I...I-I'm not sure if I can actually can b-but... well I can already become a giant serpent so... [ MAYBE???????? ]

[karappo]

[MAYBE...]

W-well I...I would not be against you trying, either....but again, only if you wanted to.

[matteimasu]

[ And at that he suddenly becomes very determined ] I want to! [ he raises his fists to chest level ] Like I said, I want to hug too!

[karappo]

[O-oh...cute.]

A-ah, well...do not let me stop you, then!

[He gives Megami's coils one last pat with his finger before pulling it away.]

I leave any and all attempts to grow at your discretion.

[matteimasu]

O-Okay! [ At that he makes his way out of Poseidon's hand, having no trouble slithering down his body and back onto the sand. Advantages of being part snake. ] I'm just going to put some space between us... j-just in case! [ Apparently he meant... now... Hugs are very serious, okay. Once there's adequate space he stops and closes his eyes, hands clasped, trying to focus... ]

[karappo]

[Well well. This should be interesting...and true to his word, even though he is surprised he's trying right NOW, Poseidon leans back on his forearms and watches Megami as he concentrates.]

1/2

[matteimasu]

[ He keeps concentrating... but nothing happens. Except for the way his face starts to look a little strained, the face of someone getting frustrated that they aren't getting results... Finally after all that something poofs and changes... ]

[matteimasu]

[ ...But in Megami's place is well Well he's huge all right A giant snake ] ...Ah.

[karappo]

[...Ah.]

W-well......you are larger?

[matteimasu]

[ His scales turn red and he lowers his head, tongue flicking out as he speaks ] W-Well, y-yes but--! [ the end of his body comes up to cover his eyes like a hand would ] Ughhhh, this is embarrassing!! I'm sorry!

[karappo]

N-non non, do not be embarrassed! I do not mind your snake form at all...

[Poseidon tries his damnest not to laugh, not wanting to embarrass the goddess even further.]

Come over, if you would? So I can see you better.

[matteimasu]

[ He groans but... slithers closer anyway True to his word he is... very big. Big enough to easily wrap himself around Poseidon if he wanted. He doesn't say anything but his scales are still flushed ]

[karappo]

[Very big indeed...he's actually impressed by the size at which Megami has grown. He would terrify a human this way, easily.

But Poseidon isn't afraid. He just extends one of his hands carefully to place it atop the snake's head, actually able to carefully pet him with his hand as opposed to having to use a fingertip.]

[matteimasu]

[ Oh that... feels kinda nice. ...But it's not a hug, which was what he was aiming for ] I-Is this to tell me g-good job...?

[karappo]

Mmhmm, it is~

[Pet pet...he could have just gone for the hug, but...well, Poseidon hasn't hugged. He isn't even sure where to start, really, so he sticks with what he knows.]

[matteimasu]

[ Well good thing it feels good, he even raises his head into the pets like a cat would... but he's still pouty about his failure ] I'm going to try again, maybe it will easier while I'm like this. [ it should be as simple as just changing his upper half right???? ]

[karappo]

[TOTALLY SIMPLE.

He does pull his hand away at that though, albeit a bit reluctantly. He's being such a cute snake right now, it's hard.]

Go for it.

1/2

[matteimasu]

[ okay okay concentrate concentrate... just think of the hugs Megami! Do it for the hugs...! Eventually he poofs again and... he is still big! And he does have his human half with his snake tail! His face brightens as he realizes he actually succeeded-- ]

[matteimasu]

[ ...and then falters when he realizes that Poseidon is still even bigger. Megami isn't palm sized anymore by any means, but he's maybe only half the size of Poseidon roughly. It's still not big enough ] Wh... Why?! Why can't I get bigger than this?! [ ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ]
