Cad was a bit shocked that Holly didn't do well, although Idunn's success was a surprise to no one. Although it would be nice to beat her! So when the next round was announced, shrinking solution he could handle! He flashed his most charming, suppliant smile at the examiner, and offered a gentlemanly inclination of his head at her confirmation that he could continue to the next round.

Cad set to work on his potion, confident but careful to ensure that the consistency wasn't overworked. Pleased with his attempt he raised his hand.
