Wade

"It's an honor, Princess Miranda."

At least it helped Wade from panicking. He didn't get to talk to others a lot but he also knew to mess up around someone royal could end badly...

+certainly implied Wade was clever enough to know moonlight was technically sunlight.

"The good news is the phase of the moon doesn't matter. As long as it's not a new moon so there's some light."

Wade smiled, lighting the cauldron and putting in the other two jars.

"You don't want it to boil. Just hot enough that it can mix together. But here is where we have to wait. To really shine, it needs to absorb moonlight. I've tested it. It has to be moonlight, not direct sunlight."

Well, that+

"Ah. hello."

A crown! Wade bowed as well as he could.

"I'm...mostly typical of the octopus variety. Keep to myself but opened to helping people with my talents. I'm Wade. It's lovely to meet you, princess."

He could be awkward but he was also WAY more calculated in being polite to royalty.

“What is this place? It certainly isn’t the Merkingdom…what is this Bluesky?”

"The earth isss living too, we musssst protect it!"

+as a sort of battery for it. This is a rare case in potions like this where it has to be ocean or sea water. Dissolving salt in fresh water will make it cloudy and dim the light."

+the ingredient, after all. You need to replace the jellyfish with something if using jellyfish is too difficult or cruel to you."

He grabbed two an empty jars, filling them with sea water from inside the cave and putting in first.

"It has to be salt water for the base. The salt in it acts as a+

Wade gave a nod, going to the jars of ingredients and grabbing two. They weren't tiny: about a gallon each.

"One jar of bioluminescent algae and one of jellyfish. Both liquified. You can use crushed crystals instead of the jellyfish but then you need two jars of the algae. One ingredient is just+

Wade was beaming again, watching it in action.

"Your runes really are amazing, Leo!"

"Of course. And it should be simple since the color you want is I guess what people would call the default."

Wade couldn't help a soft laugh, filling up the bowl one last time.

"I'm glad you enjoy it. While I purposefully have three cauldrons just to use one for cooking, I don't usually cook for others."

"I'm not used to a bed...I'm opened to trying one."

It seemed natural to assume that a bed made for a mer could handle the water.

Wade went quiet. While he was comfortable enough to be energetic, he knew when to be quiet and patient. He had to let Leo focus.

"It is true that it takes more energy to move on land. For those that can like us. As you said: the weight can make it a struggle where in the water we can move with ease."

"If it wouldn't be too much trouble to make..."

"I know... I'm used to sleeping in water but I can use the garden. I can't imagine that would be easy to work with..."

He didn't mind, serving her some more.

"Just hoping it's something normal and not...something health wise having an issue for you."

"It wonderful! I never imagined having so much space... It's going to be so much easier to infuse the lantern potions with moonlight, too. It...already feels like a new home..."

Wade thought for a moment. Winter so it couldn't be maternal instincts...

"Hm...do these Finheads as you call them hibernate?"

The octomere chuckled, smiling widely the whole time. It was still weird walking around on sort of land but he was also so excited to be doing this with others he was bonding with.

He felt like family...

Wade couldn't help feeling excited. He was going to get to help!

"Yeah! I'm excited to!"

Wade kept on smiling brightly. Still like a dream...

"Leo! Hey!"

"Right!"

Wade was clearly excited, following and swimming through the portal. It still felt like a dream...

"Yes! I have my cauldrons in the bag. I decided to leave the shelves behind and some of my lights with the recipe if someone else finds it and moves in."

"I believe it. Si is sweeter than he thinks he is... And I look forward to meeting her!"

He gave a nod.

"It makes sense to attach my garden to my room. It's still wonderful!"

His room.

"Attached?! That's wonderful!

Wade chuckled, very excited.

"Si told me you might! I think he's happy to have more family."

"I trust that."

Suddenly, he paused.

"I can make shrinking potions, you know."

"Levi! I was hoping it was you!"

His smile brightened at that.

"It's going that well already."
