“Beyond the blue”

Leonard stared into Saito's eyes, the question echoing in his mind. "What's so special about my eyes, sir? Yours are green, so what?"

"Ah, kids these days..." Saito sighed, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. He turned back, shrugging, and focused again on the shelf of ingredients. 

With precise, almost magical gestures, he finished the mixture in the mortar. A thick, greenish liquid with a faint glow appeared in the container.

"Lie down," Saito instructed, his voice soft but firm. "This might sting a little."

"This looks like those regeneration potions from the Guild."

"It doesn't just look like it. It is a regeneration potion. I discovered them."

Leonard was astonished by Saito's statement, and with a slight hesitation, he obeyed.

Saito approached, holding a small ceramic pot containing the potion in one hand and a clean cloth in the other. Gently, he applied the mixture to Leonard's pierced rib and his flank.
