I imagine Caelus’s merfolk form would be silver and gold, maybe with koi fish-like patches of gold on silver. Flowy tail like a fancy goldfish too <3

Adjusting to his new form and life was challenging! Kakavasha had to help him learn to swim with his new tail in the tide pools for a while before they could venture off and return to the deep sea. He’s still a little clumsy but Vasha finds it adorable and swims slow for him to keep up, holding hands to stay together. Caelus is so, so curious and awestruck by the world under the ocean. He’s been stuck on that island so long he never thought he would see such beautiful sights and wonders. They made a home together in a pretty coral covered cave where they and their future family will be safe and happy. 🫶

Caelus probably tries to befriend and play with a lot of sea life but Vasha is protective and jealous when he sees him admiring a fish’s scales and fins. (Mine are prettier! So praise me instead! 😖) Then Caelus just laughs & lets him wrap his arms around him for a kiss and nuzzle. Vasha still does most of the hunting because he LOVES spoiling his beautiful mate with gifts and bc Cae is inexperienced. But he’s okay with it~ He loves doing things for him and half the cave is full of shiny shells and treasure just for his precious treasure ❤️
