Laboratory mishaps
Robin

A loud bang shook the walls, Robin scrabbled to duck under a table as glass bottles fell around him. The potion overflows quickly as giant bright pink bubbles erupt from the glass, even larger ones take to the air floating up till they pop with loud bangs.

The entire lab shakes with the sound of the explosion, Robin scrabbles for his quill to jot everything down "for god's sake! Look what you did!" Someone shouted

Robin sat up to peek over the bench he hid behind "me? It was you with the bloody miracle berries!" Two men argue as the rush around dodging bubbles. They stood in a round room, the base of a tall cylinder watch tower. Around them was a lab three tables, two bookshelves, a lot of windows and stairs spiralling up to the top of the tower.

"Log 8731, remedy this time erupted as a global gas substance. Looks to be harmless but not very useful" a man with long golden hair and sun kissed skin spoke into a pocket recorder. He wore a well done up jacket and pants, beside him was another man shorter with a wider stature.

His hair was a light brown with grey streaks, he wears glasses, a blue jumper, brown pants, and a white cloak. He walked over to a blackboard on the wall and marked another line under the table 'misfire' said table was almost filled in white with chalk lines.

"What say you, Robin?" The man with long blond hair asked holding out the recorder. Robin stood up from behind the bench gently pushing a large bubble away from him "Viresa is going to kill you" the men seem to tense before the shorter breaks out into a frenzy.

"That's it Wyatt! Make sure no evidence is left behind!" The taller shouts encouragement turning back to talk into his recorder "next time leave miracle berries out" there's a crash as Wyatt scrabbles for a mop ".... scratch that just don't let Wyatt into the laboratory."

He turned to Robin "so how about we try your idea next? What was it again... using nectar wasn't it?" Robin ducks as another vial shatters sending glass flying, the tall man doesn't flinch still grinning down at Robin "my idea? But sir-"

"Blank" he corrected
Robin nodded "Blank, my ideas aren't really thought out. I mean they're just theories"

Blank waved a hand "do not doubt your ideas young prisoner, anything is better than this" he gestures to the mess.

"I believe you meant pioneer" Wyatt or Dr Dye speaks up as he continues to run around trying to smother with bubbles with water.

"What's the difference?"
"Ones a criminal one discovers things."
"That's it."

Blank goes over to Dr. Dye and helps him gather the bubbles. It's been a year since Robin arrived in Perdia with Judith, the offer to stay with her and her family sounded like dream. He's never had the chance to visit this country before despite been a elf, and it was a chance to start over. To work his mind out and to watch over the country like Atticus asked.

While Judith is off learning how to be Queen, how to rule proper and how to lead a war. Robin stayed here with her family, Viresa Braxtor is Judith's aunt one of her only surviving blood relatives left. Blank Braxtor is her husband, with his unique name also comes his unique personality and occupation.

Since the first war him and Dr Dye have been attempting to find a cure for the disease, ever since their dear friend Clyde Noel fell ill to it. Viresa handles the more political side of things, been a part of the Perdian court allowed her to convince Perdia to stay on ball with the war and not let Veia or the new threat Charlie slip through their fingers. She's also the one that funds the research into the cure, which is why the men are panicking now.
