[As soon as she lands, she lets her bristles stand on end, like a cat trying to make itself look larger to its enemy.]

Being a bunny sea slug is hard, alright? Now enough teasing, we should grab our things and be getting back.

[Can he hear the pouting?]

[flamekthunder]

[He just laughs as he gently pets her this time as if in apology.]

Sorry, it was too tempting... But you're right. We've gotten everything we need for the lotion, so it's just the coral left. There's a reef just over there we can look through.

[He holds out his hand to her then to carry her.]

[starshower]

Uh huh...

[She slides along the sand and into his palm, curling herself around his thumb.]

Would it make you feel better if I rode in the bubble for that?

[flamekthunder]

[A low hum as he looks at her.]

It's been fine so far, so... I think you should be okay like this.

[starshower]

I could go back on your head, if you want. Was pretty comfortable up there.

[flamekthunder]

[A quiet laugh.]

If that's what you want.

[He'll go ahead and raise his hand up there so she can swim down onto it.]

Glad you're not a bird or you might have tried to make a nest...

[starshower]

[She darts from his hand into his hair, right to the spot between his ears where she can get nice and snug, and he'll feel her burrowing a little, getting herself tucked away so that she doesn't move quite as much.]

Who's to say that I haven't already tried? Good thing you can't see your hair right now.

[Annnd she flattens against the top of his head, allowing his hair to drape over her body.]

But I'm good now. Let's finish this job and get me back to normal... please.

[flamekthunder]

[He glances up and just shakes his head a bit. Not enough to jostle her free, but enough to shake her around a bit.]

You'll have to fix it later.

[And then a chuckle as he swims towards the reef where they will have to hunt around for the right kind of coral described on the paper. It will take a bit, but with their combined efforts they finally spot it and Eustace is able to carefully take a piece off without damaging the rest too much. After double checking they've collected everything, he quickly swims back to the seahorse where they make their way in town to the mermaid's shop to get both the lotion and the potion made.

"Oh wow, you managed to convince Ol' Maura!? With this you'll definitely be remembered as a favorite for sure~ Just give me a little bit and I'll be able to make both of these."]
