[ OH GEEZ he's still wrapped around you, you know!! ]
I-It is fine! Please do not worry! I told you before, did I not? That though I am half snake I am not cold blooded like they are! Please do not be so alarmed...!
[ HE WAS JUST USING IT AS A WAY TO FLIRT... ]
...Though come to think of it, it... never has gotten cold enough in my lake to know for sure what effect it has on me I... suppose...
I...I am sorry. I forgot about that...it is just that the sea gets very cold during the winter time. Even the us merfolk have to be careful when it gets to freezing temperatures.
[He lifts a hand to stroke his scales. Please don't freeze he'll cry.]
[That seems to have calmed him down from that momentary scare, though that probably will linger in the back of his mind once the colder months start to set in...maybe he'll have to find him some sort of warmer thing to wear down here...]
I hope you know that means I am going to hold you to that. Us doing that someday, I mean.
[I mean. They probably want to, it's just a matter of how long they'd survive on their own.]
Oh! Choromatsu had been telling me about human customs while you were recovering...us merfolk tend to celebrate unions together, but humans often spend time on trips alone that they call "honeymoons". I assume this means you take your partner somewhere you can see the moonlight?
...It will not be too boring though, would it? Since you have been to my island many times now... though I suppose there is a lot of it I have not had the chance to show you yet...
[He nudges him with the side of his face, being very careful to make it more of a nuzzle as opposed to a headbutt.]
Now that I can walk for a time on land, I want to see your entire island. If I am to show you all the sea has to offer, it is only fair I see what is special to you, non?
[Poseidon laughs along with him, feeling his exhaustion really start to set in the more comfortable the goddess gets. It's becoming so hard not to just...drift off to sleep...]
It will be truly a momentous occasion...assuming we can trust our sons in our absence...
[ Honestly he could easily fall back to sleep like this too. Even though he really wants to make sure the boys don't have to see all this magma and such... but then again there's nothing to do about the burns so they'll probably find out anyway ]
Ah yes, well... they are adults now, right?
...Have they ever been left alone for long periods of time before?
Ah, well...I am gone most of the day, but the longest I have left them is maybe a full day and night...I do try not to stray too far since I want to be able to keep an eye on them.
Oh no, I am not saying that...they just...have a habit for getting into mischief. Depending how long we are planning to be gone...we would need to make sure they would understand what to do with themselves during that time.

If it gets too cold down here, we can go to your lake for a short time, together. I would not mind taking trips back and forth to check up on things.

...Ah, what is that thing married couples do after their wedding again? I know there is a custom of going some place to be alone for a while.
[ but do they want to be separated from their
shit boysdarling sons for too long? THE HARD QUESTION ]no subject

[With your honey.
Honeymoon.]

What a cute name... I would assume that is what it means too!
[ what the hell goddess you lived around humans why are YOU making this mistake now ]
The moon does look nice from the island... hmm...

Why don't we go on one? Right after we are wed! Your island would be perfect for it!

[ should he be worried about this. can these boys handle being alone for that long without somehow figuring out how to set things on fire underwater ]
Well it will be a learning experience for them then!

[ "A little"
Megami they are going to take advantage of this and you are going to have to learn the hard way that they are not just a "little" bad ]
I suppose we will then... though thankfully the island is not too far so it would not be too hard to check on them quickly...
no subject
I do not believe things would be too bad, if I am honest...but you know how easily it is to worry, especially when you are the ruler of the sea.
no subject
Hopefully with me around though the worry can be lessened a bit.
