When noodling over this scene I had the idea in my head to have Anthony discuss some sort of color-based communication system they had worked out with Felix. Something like directing him to do different tricks with different colors of light, maybe even communicate Felix's emotive states. Ultimately I axed it because I didn't want to sidetrack things too much, plus I think it felt a bit too far towards fantasy-fiction.
I considered for a time having Felix spray ink upon seeing the sarnothi members, but changed my mind about throwing that bit into the story flow. Which is a shame, because Selkie's wearing such a ruinable dress...
Looked up a lot of strange and interesting trivia while reading up on octopi for this arc. Here's one: apparently octopis don't survive mating. Males die shortly afterward and females die shortly after the eggs hatch.
