We could do that, easily. If you wanted, the boys and I could easily pick them up for you. It would be a lot faster with more hands, and they could do with some work.
[Then they'll just probably whine to mom about having to do manual labor, at least until they realize who it's for.
[That's something he's been pining for forever now, so he's absolutely in favor of this.]
I like the sound of that, my love. After all, you were asleep for me returning you to our home...you have not even seen any of the ocean where we live yet.
Oh, naturally. The ocean is very... [He yawns, laying his head back down.] Vast. There is so much they have not seen...much I can show you once we are both well...
[They've lost a whole month's worth of time...and even though he probably should be sleeping, he's hard pressed to stay awake to spend more time with his love. Especially so since he wants to make absolutely sure Adranus doesn't make some sort of miraculous recovery...he almost doesn't feel like he can fully rest yet.]
[ ...He can't blame him for that honestly. He still remembers fighting to stay awake the first few nights Poseidon came to him, or before he passed out for that month... he gets it. ]
All right. If you are certain.
[ He goes back to cleaning Poseidon up, then pauses for a moment, looking at this toga. Mmm, even with the parts he's been ripping off he's only just now realizing how torn and dirty it still is in places. ]
...I suppose excursions like that though might have to wait until I have acquired new clothes...
[He reaches out slowly to feel the frayed edge of his toga with a fingertip. It's burned in places...and that's not something he wants to think about.]
Poseidon's eyes widen and his cheeks color a little. Then, his tail curls in on itself as he grins.]
Ooh? That is news to me...
[He lays his head against his arm, looking on at the river goddess fondly.]
I think you would look devastatingly attractive if you ever even entertained the idea of dressing similarly to our sons. But...you would look nice in anything regardless.
[ Feeling Poseidon's gaze makes the goddess reflexively cover his chest with his arms, face turning red with embarrassment. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING TO HIDE, GEEZ ]
I-Is that r-right...?
[ ...Admittedly the clothing their sons wear IS really nice... and if Poseidon would find him really attractive..........
Nope nope nope it is still too shameless for him ]
M-M-Maybe if there was something... a-a bit more m-modest...
...Do the... m-mermaids of the sea also... go around like... that...?
Mmm...it is all according to personal preference. The less clothing you wear, the easier it is to swim around, after all.
[Poseidon might have armor on, but he doesn't wear anything long or flowing that could get caught as he swims. Their sons are young, so it's more appropriate for them to wear what they have, especially since they are the sons of a king.
Suffice it to say that means there are plenty of mermaids who swim around with their tiddy out.]
[Poseidon seems amused by the insistence on modesty, especially since it's not so much an issue down in the ocean. But it's more endearing than anything. Don't worry, he understands.]
Not if you preferred it, no. You can still wear whatever you would like, Amphitrite.
[ Honestly it's in part that he's just too used to his more ambiguous look. Exposing his chest gives the fact he isn't technically a "goddess", "queen", "mother" or "wife" away too fast...
...and ok yeah he's self conscious about it too. Maybe. ]
E-Either way... I suppose I will have to... leave that to you Poseidon...
Oh, you do not have to worry about that. When the time comes, I will have so many things for you to wear that you will not be able to go through them all, I am sure.
[After all, Poseidon himself came up with and coordinated their sons' clothing with a bit of help from a few merfolk who worked more closely with underwater textiles and things. Most importantly though, at least one thing will probably be enchanted in some way. A small bit of extra protection, just in case.
Poseidon takes a moment to look the goddess over, eyeing the torn bits of toga that he'd been using to clean him off.]
In the meantime though, we can find you a toga identical to your old one until my strength returns. Along with anything else you might like, of course.
[He finally has his bae so he's gotta spoil him with all the riches a god could possibly own.]
[ GOOD SPOIL THE BAE... spoil away all the bad memories of all the gifts certain other shitty gods kept trying to win him over with. ]
That would be perfect, dear.
[ Though speaking of spoiling and things to wear... ]
A-And I s-suppose... f-for the c-ceremony, we will n-need...
[ ...okay he's having a hard time saying it because he still cannot believe that this is all real yet and they are really going to have a ceremony oh god he's really going to be wed. He fidgets with his hands, thinking about what might soon be on his left one... ]
[ He turns red again at that. He's gotten most of his torso cleaned up now and was ready to discard the current scrap of toga... but instead of tearing off another piece he swims back up Poseidon and buries himself against his collarbone, tucking his whole little body between chin, neck and chest ]
That's right...
My Poseidon...
[ He said something similar earlier but... honestly saying these words gives him such joy, he feels like he could get drunk off them. ]
Poseidon is admittedly a bit startled at first by the sudden shift, feeling the goddess curl up against him like that. It...just feels so nice. It feels so, so nice.
He relaxes, closing his eyes and tilting his head to one side, resting his cheek against his coils that wrap up and over his shoulder.]

Mom gets special privileges.]
no subject
[ he mulls it over ]
No... I think if that is the sort of thing we should do together. You, the children, and me. As a family.
[ trips to the island together... sound like a lot of fun. ]

You will have to show me sometime... or the boys. Though I am sure there are things they cannot show me that you can.

What clothing would you like to have?
no subject
[ Mom and dad made sure their babby would always be clothed even when he never left home for ages ]
...I do not know to be honest. I have never worn anything but this style...
[ a pause ]
A-Ah, not l-like something our sons wear th-though... n-not that what they wear is not beautiful b-but...
[ sweat sweat ]
It is... an a-awful lot more chest... than I am c-comfortable bearing...
[ Oh my god really ]

W-Well, I was fine in the lake like this... it should not be a problem with continuing to wear this sort of clothing down here, correct?

[ Nailed it. ]
no subject
That is right...we are nearing the cusp of being wed, and I never even provided you with anything for our engagement, did I?
[Much less for actually being wed.]
Tell me...what would you say your favorite color is?
no subject
It is green. Definitely green.
no subject
[Not as much as blue, but. Green and blue are close naturally.]
Emeralds would look very fine on you, I think.
no subject
[ he smiles ]
You know, I used to tire of when men tried to tell me what jewels would look good on me.
[ Mainly because 90% of it was... Adranus... ]
It is nice to hear it from someone who actually cares about my preferences for a change. Very nice.
no subject
As opposed to what those others would have done for you, what I will create will be special. Personal. No one in the world will have what you have.
[He mirrors that smile, his fins lowering a little.]
Just like no one in the world but you will have me.

I love you so much, Amphitrite.
