[Poseidon grabs his trident again before getting up and swimming towards the exit, smiling to himself when he hears the telltale sound of scales shuffling as their sons swim away quickly before they're caught eavesdropping.]
I have been meaning to show you the sea on our own time, and I also need to find you some suitable clothing. Why not both at once?
[He's still not 100%...but he's a lot better than he was before. And he's too excited now to want to stay home.]
Besides, you have been down here long enough...you deserve to see the rest of your home.
[He says this as he swims upwards through the channels in the reef until he breaks through to the open sea, the sun shining down on them from the surface above.]
[ Amphitrite has to squeeze even tighter in order to hold on once they're moving and out in the open sea, the current and the strength of Poseidon's swimming not being something he's used to. It'd probably be easier to hold on if he were in his natural form but that ain't happening. ]
Oh--!
[ Still... what he sees when they get to open sea is enough to take his breath away regardless. IT'S SO VAST... ]
[Poseidon carries Amphitrite out of their reef home and far up into the sea, leaving it below them as he starts to swim toward the heart of where most of the other merfolk live. And he will soon realize that they live at what is essentially the very heart of a massive network of reefs and coral that branch out into the ocean and become a bit more sparse the further out they get. Almost every square inch of coral is teeming with sea life, whether it be covered with anemones or starfish, or clustered with groups of small fish swimming in and around the surfaces.
He pauses once he feels like he's up high enough, closer to the surface but still many yards off. Then, he turns around and angles the snake in his hand so he can look down below them at the city.
And it's. Massive. There are many merfolk down there swimming from place to place, some of them carrying things while others go into what look like various shops and recreational spaces. And from this angle, he will be able to see where the reef gets larger and closer together until it comes to a point that looks almost like a castle overlooking everything...]
This is not every single merperson in the sea, of course...but this is one of the largest colonies in this area. I thought that staying in a place like this would be better for our sons...I had moved around a lot more before settling here.
Poseidon holds the goddess a bit closer to his chest as he resumes swimming again, this time heading down toward the city proper.]
Do not get too shy- we are off to get you some new clothes!
[Where Poseidon is going, the attire is...definitely not modest, at least not by Megami's standards. But he knows that the mers working there will be able to put something together special for their soon-to-be Queen. They'd probably be honored to, even. Word of Amphitrite's presence had spread far and wide throughout the sea, though a lot of merfolk had yet to see him. So when Poseidon comes swimming down from above, they all look up and watch him, most clearly trying to find his new partner.
...not realizing he is the eel-snake in his hand.]
Poseidon's fins pin against his head briefly, but he still turns to wave at a few merfolk as they pass by. People are starting to get excited now that they've realized that Poseidon has come to town for a visit.]
That is fine...we will just let you change once we get back to the reef.
[He'll just be thinking about that until they get back that's all.]

I am sure they all feel quite relieved having the sea king living so close by.
no subject
I have spent the last twenty years looking after all of them as well as the rest of the sea. And now...they are your people too, Amphitrite.
[It's a bit of a risk, him saying that...he knows how he felt about the people of his island, after all. There's certainly no replacing them.]
no subject
[ At that... Amphitrite goes quiet. His... people...
Then eventually he turns his head towards Poseidon ]
I just wish I had something to give to them then...
[ He gave his own people so much of himself in the past ]
no subject
And that is you.

[Oh boy, is it more embarrassing than his current issue because Poseidon can't imagine what it might be.]
no subject
T-Truthfully, when the boys offered me their clothes, I... t-took them up on it because I... was thinking about what you said...
About me looking... what were your words again? "Devastatingly attractive"?
[ a.k.a. super hot ]
no subject
Almost immediately as they start to descend among the "buildings", Poseidon feels his face flush so deeply that he has to look elsewhere.]
A-ah, yes...my opinion as far as that goes still stands. Though I...
[He clears his throat.]
Would not expect you to dress that way out in public. N-not unless you wanted to.
no subject
I... I think that... y-you are the only one... that I want to let see me like this...
