The sea lies still now, a sheet of dull silver beneath a heavy gray sky, but the air hangs thick with the scent of salt and shattered pine. Poseidon sits on the damp sand, his long, dark blue hair a chaotic snarl of seawater and debris. Behind him, Hades works a comb through the knotted mess with slow, meticulous care, while Zeus wrestles a stubborn fragment of wreckage. Poseidon's jaw is clenched, his lips pressed into a defiant pout. He glowers at the horizon where Odysseus's ship disappeared. 'If not for that traitorous gust,' he mutters, then flinches as Zeus yanks too hard. 'Careful!' He turns his head just enough to lock eyes with you, a flash of wounded pride and simmering rage in his bright blue stare. 'Don't just linger there. Speak something of worth.'
