WHEN: Tuesday night
WHERE: Triton's apartment
WHAT: Moving in with big brother!
WARNINGS: tbd
Kymopoleia had spent the last few years in Hawaii and being the arm candy of a well-off old guy who'd retired there. He was kind of icky and wrinkly but he was rich so their relationship worked out well enough. But then he drowned in the bathtub mostly on accident and so Kymopoleia was packing and moving, following the vibrations of family that she could feel converging in one of the cities.
It was late on Tuesday night when she showed up at Triton's door, back on her shoulder and smile on her face, knocking and waiting.

Triton had no idea who could be knocking, but frowned at the sensation of family at the other end of the door. He wondered who it could be, who else his father ad summoned to these shores.
He opened the door and only sighed at the sight of his sister. He loved his siblings. Even the ones who were more like their father then he was. Smiling he stepped back, "Kymopoleia, I did not know you were in town. Does Father know?"

"That's the first thing you ask?" Kymopoleia said, stepping inside. "No, 'hello, Ky, wonderful to see you, it's been forever?' It's 'does dad know?'"

He rolled his eyes, closing the door behind her. "I figured seeing you are here, that you're well enough and followed the call Father send out." He crossed his arms, "so I suspect he does not?" His younger siblings had it easier. He was the heir, for all it was worth, and had more of a responsibility.
He sighed, "it is good to see you. There's troubling news to be shared. Have a seat."

"Haven't heard a word from me," Kymopoleia said with a shrug. "Like he'd talk to me."
At his last words, the ocean goddess straightened a little and frowned before backing into one of the seats and sitting down. "What'd he do now?" she asked cautiously.

"He send the message out to all of his children, I did not know why until now." Sighing he sat down before her, "we have a half mortal sibling. He's eight. A while ago mother found this out. She was less then pleased, and left the country." He sighed deeply, "not her brightest moment. She was...assaulted and taken against her will." He paused and glanced to his fingers. "When I saw her, I could see her flinch from my touch. Father's not dealing well. Mother needs us."

Kymopoleia just sat on the seat taking all of this in and then finally, after giving him a thoughtful expression, said, "I don't know what you think I can do for her." Kymopoleia didn't do emotions much better than their father did.

He sighed, "keep father distracted." he paused, "and not like that. If he does what he tends to do now, it will not improve her healing." Again he paused, "and I think Medusa is around." He ran his fingers over his eyes, "Mother needs him. We should ensure she is as well as she is able to get"

"Distracted, check." Kymopoleia certainly wanted to try and keep him distracted her way. Her way was the best way. "So basically you want me on father-watch to make sure he keeps his cock out of everything?" she asked with a raised eyebrow. "While I'm at it you need anything else? Maybe I could blot out the sun for you? Or discover a new breed of rhinos native to the city?"

"Your sarcasm isn't necessary right now." He gave her a dry look, "I'm not expecting miracles here. I expect father to revert to form after a while, I just want to stretch out this period for a little. For mother's sake." He sighed, "he's distraught enough to wear his wedding band."

She had been going to make another sarcastic comment but then the mention of the wedding band instead made her give him a confused and slightly horrified look. Their father had clearly lost it.
"I'm on it," she eventually said. She looked around the apartment from where she sat. "Where's my room gonna be?" she asked and then turned back to look at her, her smile predatory. "Or am I sharing with you?"

That made him blink, "pardon me?" He had not expected her to invite herself into his home. Then again, he should have, knowing his sister. Still hospitality demanded he was at least polite.
"After all this time you still walk in and expect me to make room for you." He sighed, "I'll get you your own room. Mine's occupied."

Kymopoleia reached out a leg and rubbed it against his. "You're so mean," she pouted, more amused than anything else. It was fun to tease her brother.
