“Haha, thanks hun.” you say, kissing her on the forehead while gently taking the cases from her hands. “I'll carry them home.”
“I heard you two are going to be visiting with the princess herself.” her father says, you looking to him as Megumin steps outside with you. “Be careful, and mind your manners Megumin.”
“I will.” she says, you shifting the containers to hold them in one arm, and take your wife's hand in the other as you both begin the walk back home. You enjoy the peaceful walk, the two of you going in companionable silence before getting back to your home. Pressing her crystal wedding ring to the door, your crystal home opens up and allows the both of you inside.
“Thanks hun.” you say, Megumin closing the double doors and portcullis behind you. “I'm gonna get to work right away, need anything?”
“Nope, I'm gonna go get ready.” she says, humming her 'Explosion' song to herself as she heads to the stairs before you. “Speaking of, are you gonna wear your robes? Or your armor?”
“I think I should wear my armor for this one.” you say after a moment's thought. “They're expecting to meet an off-worlder, so I suppose I should look the part.”
“I agree.” she replies, smirking a bit as you can tell she's planning something. But despite being together for as long as you have, you have no idea what she's planning. “Go on, go and finish your spells for Vanir while I start getting ready.”
She then almost skips up the stairs, you following behind her with your boxes of glass bottles to fill. You head up past the bedroom into your workshop, placing the boxes on the desk then taking your robe off. With a thought you grow a crystal hook out of the wall, hanging it there beside the desk then cracking your fingers.
“Alright, time to get to work.” you say to yourself, and reaching into the top box draw out the first glass jar of dozens. With another thought, you grow a small pillar up out of the floor, and rest the jar atop it. You then pull the cork out with your left hand, placing your left atop the container while focusing your magic power. “Crystal Magic: Crystal Barrier!”
You feel the magical energy surge out through your open hand, But instead of forming the dome of crystal magic around you, the energy surges down into the container. You see the magical energy swirling around inside the glass like a small snowstorm, you capping it with the enchanted cork seal and sealing the magic away inside it. Picking up the freshly-made Crystal Barrier Bottle, you take it back over to the box and replace it. Setting the sealed spell jar back inside, you then take the next one and turn back to your small pedestal, and repeat the process.
