It's been a while since he's visited his water tank. Once the cure had been administered he had spent most of his time up on the lunar pocket moon actually exploring what it had to offer. He had already transferred some of his clothes there and had no reason to come back down. Plus, he was no long hiding in that tank.
The sticky notes were still plastered over the front of it and he took care to remove them gently. After placing them in his coat pocket for later he hangs it neatly to the side on the rack provided to him. He's left his performance clothing at home and while in light casual he's letting his small yet flightless manticore wings stretch out to get use to them. With water filled and determination to get back to work a positive high he's ascending the side with his power and sitting on one of the corners to position himself.
Most of the time he'll be in the tank, counting the seconds down of the average length a human can hold their breath before relaxing in it all together. He's not drowning thankfully with how he can cheat for a considerable while but there are moments where he is actually letting the water touch him with how every detail is taken into accountability.
There are times when one might find him near the tank binding his own legs, wrists and arms in various positions. The nature of the trick is to be able to escape in the appropriate amount of time without compromising the reality and fear of drowning that the crowd experiences. It's why there is always a timer present to lure the audience into that state the closer it gets to zero.
And then the inevitability will happen when he'll sit at the bottom of his tank and allow his new tentacles to emerge from his body. They'll slide over the tank walls exploring. He's not sure if he'll allow them to be apart of his act but they should get use to the comfort of the water should they ever emerge on their own during a performance. That must look terrifying from the outside.

Got another prompt in mind? Feel free to plot with me and use this as a general catch all. Tyki is nosy and might wander after a while.
