Time to Talk

"Alright! Lesson one on talking!" Luz says loudly.

Indigo sat on the couch as Luz stood on the table looking determined and ready to teach them how to speak with their mouth.

"So, we know you CAN speak with your mouth, you speak almost perfectly in your head so I don't have to teach you the words, we just need to work on mouth movements and stuff!" Luz says and hops down "Hmm, what's an easy word to say?"

"Luz"

"Yes?" Luz looks up to see who said their name, Indigo blinks at her.

"Huh, coulda sworn someone said my name, anyways back to an easy word"

"Luz"

Luz looks up, thoroughly baffled "Okay who said my name!?" She says and looks around, before noticing Indigo trying not to laugh

"Gasp! It was you!" She point accusingly and Indigo laughs out loud, which just makes Luz laugh too, they were both giggling for a few moments at themselves before straightening up to continue

"Alright, you can say my name pretty well! Which means your l's and z's aren't tripping you up. Hmm can you say… oh Willow, try saying Willow '' Luz carefully say the word to show how her mouth and tongue move.

Indigo watches these movements carefully.

"Will-owwww"

"Close! Really close!, but your putting too much on the w at the end, just a quick short ow"

"Willow"

"There! Perfect!"

"Whats a Willow?" Indigo asks even as they look pleased at saying it

"Well it's a few things, for one its the name of a kind of tree and another is the name of my best friend!"

"Interesting, so some words mean more than one thing sometimes?" Indigo enquiries.

"Yeah! Like my name, Luz, is actually the spanish word for Light!" Luz explains quickly.

"Liiiiight"

"Yeah! Good job!"

-Amity-

Amity wasn't really sure how she got away with telling her parents the Emperor's coven healed her leg for her, she just said she had visited Lilith there with the help of the twins and they had healed it for her, somehow her parents bought that malarky, but Amity was nervous that they might try to contact Lilith to thank her for it, but then, thanking people wasn't their style.

One thing Amity was sure of was that she had a lot of homework and assignments to catch up on, after their parents checked in and got fed a bunch of lies, the twins had went to their own rooms, Emira was still very annoyed at Edric and it was showing pretty clearly, because said twin kept coming in to Amity's room instead to ask if she wanted help with all her homework.

"Cmon Mittens, I can help!"

"No Edric, I can do it myself, that's the point!" Amity chides, but her glare softens when she glances around and spots him looking at the ground.

"It's cuz I'm not as smart as Em isnt it?" He asks quietly

"No, Edric it's not, I need to learn this stuff myself or I'll never pass my exams, but… if you want to help…." Amity looks over her assignments, she had a biology assignment to complete, she had to admit she was a little stuck on it. "Maybe you could help me with this biology assignment"

Edric perks up immediately "Biology! Oh I got this!" He says and walks over, kneeling to scan over the assignment "Oh! I remember this stuff!" He says and scans over what Amity had already written "Ah, you get stuck there too huh? Emira had the same problem, the thing is you have to remember…"

And thus Amity was treated to a long talk on biology by the older brother everyone considered "dumb" Amity was beginning to think that eople jist didnt look hard enough at those around them.

Amity had to admit, when Edric knew and enjoyed something, he really seems to absorb into it, he knew all about the biology of witches, he even went on small tangents about other creatures, yes his magical talent was in Illusions, but if he set his mind to it, Amity had no doubt he would excel in things like healing and beast keeping, he even mastered the transformation spell in a week, even Emira still struggled with it to this day, but perhaps knowing the physiology of the creature itself was giving him an advantage to begin with, he seemed particularly fond of bats.

Amity remembered how eager Edric had been to keep that bat he had caught as a pet, he had pleaded with Emira for hours after he had been made to release it, Emira hadn't thought him responsible enough, let alone that their parents would even allow him to keep it, so he was very firmly rejected.

While Amity was thinking, she hadn't noticed Edric scrawling away on some spare paper, it looked like he was drawing some kind of diagram for her to reference, he was putting a lot of care inti getting each part right, Amity didn't think she had ever seen him this focused on anything, aside from a really complex prank.

Neither had realised that Emira was leaning on the doorframe, watching the two for a long while. After another moment Emira walks away to her room, she had been planning to talk to Edric about why he had been crying before, she had been extremely hard on him these past couple of days.

Emira walks slowly into her room and closes the door, she had talked with Viney while they had been flying, the beast keeping healer had listened to her rambling, she hadn't said anything about Indigo but had subtly implicated something along the lines of what had happened.

"So he disappeared on you? No note, no explanation, just gone?"

"Yeah! I was worried sick about him! Why didn't he stop to think about what could've happened?" Emira had ranted

"Well, maybe he was overloaded with his own feelings? I mean everyone needs some time to themselves right? Maybe he needed to talk to someone who wouldn't make him feel bad for feeling… well bad, it does sound like you guys are under a lot of pressure, Edric seemed like a really sweet guy, the whole way back he kept asking me questions about griffon physiology, you'd have sworn the guy wants to do beast keeping with how he acted."

"He did when he was young, too young to know that mom and dad would never allow it, then they sprung it on us when I started showing promise in illusions, Edric of course was also gifted in it, given we are twins, but… I know it's not what he wants to be doing, he'd rather be off learning about all the creatures of the isles"

Viney had smiled back at Emira "So now your getting it huh? The poor guy is out of his element and he's just looking to make the best of it, maybe that time away was his chance to vent, maybe he had someone he knew he could go and talk to, someone who wouldn't be stressed or annoyed over him crying in their presence."

"So… Do you think I'm being too hard on him? I'm still mad at him for what he did but… should I be?"

"Emira, you can be mad at him and still show him kindness, compassion and everything he needs, if I gave Puddles the cold shoulder every time she ripped up my favourite jacket, well I doubt she'd ever let me on her back, its okay to be mad at someone, but still care about them enough to show it, even if its only in private"

Emira let her head fall against the door behind her, thinking over those words carefully.

-Luz-

"Alright! So let's try it one more time, someone asks who you are… you say?"

Indigo opens her mouth to speak "Hi, 'Im Indigo"

"Yeah! And if someone asks where you are from?"

"Skullsdale"

"Perfect!" Luz says with a thumbs up "And if they ask about your teeth?"

"Im part dragon"

Luz snorts "No, c'mon, take this seriously"

"Okay, okay, it was a family trait"

Eda strolls into the room "what are you two up to?" She asks curiously.

"'Im teaching Indigo how to speak! That way they can come to school with me for a day!"

Eda's smirk vanishes "Kid remember what I said about…"

"Yes I do, I have a plan!" Luz says with a grin

Eda tilts her head to the side "And what is that exactly?"

"Well, Indigo can focus on particular emotions and kind of close off other ones, so if they focus on our good emotions, then they won't have to worry about all the other bad ones and soon they'll get used to being there so they won't have to do that"

"Kid it sounds like your wanting them to enroll with you"

"Yeah?"

"The kid is 17 years old, they're barely a kid anymore, Bump ain't gonna let them in at that age, besides, if they don't know 2 spells before they even go in, they'll end up in the baby class"

Luz thinks for a moment and has an idea

"Oooh maybe Amity and the twins can teach you some of their spells!"

Indigo looks intrigued. "You think so?"

"Well you are a witch, I'd wager you have one of those bile sac thingies on your heart so I don't see why not!" Luz says.

Eda watches as Luz hops off the table to bounce with glee as the empath looks excited, their facial expressions needed some work but she had to admit, for someone living in the dark their whole lives, the kid was a fast learner, then again Luz was very expressive.

-Amity-

"So you want the three of us to teach Indigo some spells so they can come to school?" Emira asks as the three stood in the forest, well away from the owl house and Hooty

"Yes, please!" Luz says eagerly.

Amity looks at her siblings, she didn't want to tell Luz no, apparently neither did they, Edric looked excited to try and Emira seemed thoughtful.

"Can you draw circles?" Emira asked Indigo, who stood beside Luz before them.

"I don't know," Indigo says simply.

Emira looks at Edric and nudges him forward "Go show them how to do it"

Esric blinks at Emira "Me?"

Emira rolls her eyes "No the Chipgunk on your shoulder, yes you!"

Edric blinks and steps forwards, after subtly glancing to be absolutely sure there wasn't a chipgunk on his shoulder, showing Indigo how he drew a circle in the air with his finger, it didn't do anything and simply stayed in the air "You have to think about channeling the magic from your heart to your hand, or feet or where ever you plan to cast from, like, some people can use their feet or a staff, but we should stick to fingers for now"

Indigo looks at their hand for a moment "How do you know if you have magic?"

All three blinked at Indigo "Well, I guess we just know because we were told we did, I mean I can tell when I'm low on magic so I dont keep using it, but other than that…"

Edric rubs his neck, glancing at his sisters for help, neither seemed able to think of anything else to say.

Luz had simply sat on a nearby stump to watch them "You should try it Indigo, just think about drawing a circle in the air!" Luz encourages.

Indigo glances at Luz before looking back at their hand and raising it to try, thinking hard about creating a circle like Edric's, a trace of indigo appears at their fingertips as they trace a circle through the air, once they complete the circle, it vanishes but the look of delight on Indigo's face showed that it had accomplished its goal.

"I do have magic!" She says aloud, which startles the three other witches, they hadn't been expecting her to speak aloud so quickly.

"Wait, you can speak?" Amity asks

"Oh, right I forgot, I've been teaching them to speak so they can get into school and be a convincing student" Luz says with a grin "They still trip up on some things but we can just say that's their way of speaking"

"Yeh" Indigo says brightly.

"Like that for example" Luz clarifies, noting the lack of an "ah" in the word but knowing it could just be a choice of speaking.

Edric grins as the two girls look interested.

"Can you say our names?"

"Ed, Em and Amity"

"What about our full names?" Emira says testingly

Indigo seems to hesitate for a bit

"Em-eh-rah" they try, it sounds very awkward "and…. Ed-rick"

"Ed and Em is fine" Edric says softly and Em waves it off as fine as well, Indigo looks relieved.

"Well since we know you can do magic, now we just need to figure out what kind of magic suits you best" Edric continues and glances at Amity "Can you show them your Abomination summoning?" He asks.

Amity steps forward and draws a circle on the ground using her hand "Abomination, Rise!" She says and out of the ground comes a large Abomination.

Indigo, not knowing what an abomination was, yelps and falls over the stump behind them as they step back.

Luz quickly runs over to check if they were okay, as does Edric. The two pull Indigo up to it on the stump

"It's okay, it won't hurt you or anything, Amity is in complete control of it" Edric explains to the tensed up witch.

Amity sends the abomination away again "Even so, it's a very complex field of magic to start off with, maybe we should try something else"

"Hmm, what are light and fire magic classed as?" Luz asks the three.

"Those are just kind of generic spells, I don't think they fall into a specific class so to speak," Emira says from beside Amity.

"Maybe we could try that first? Light seems pretty easy" Luz says eagerly.

"Alright, most of the time you just have to think of what you want to create…" Edric spun a finger and created a small orb of almost aquamarine light, letting it float down so Indigo could see it clearly.

Indigo blinks and thinks carefully, she does the same thing Edric did and ends up with a small orb of indigo light, seeing this makes Indigo's eyes brighten dramatically.

Luz cheers happily for them.

"Good job" Emira says.

Edric doesn't say a word, just staring at the light orb for a moment before looking away once Indigo looked up at him.

"Alright, so, uh, we have one spell mastered, should we try fire now? Or maybe we could try some illusions?" He asks all of them.

Emira thinks carefully "Illusions are a little complex, but it would impress Bump if it was one of your first two mastered spells, hmm, we could try a simply vanishing illusion" Emira says, twirling a finger and vanishing, before reappearing behind indigo and making them jump as she poked their back to get their attention.

Indigo looked baffled before a glint of curiosity appeared in their eyes "Yeh, I wanna learn thah!"

Edric holds back a giggle at the way Indigo spoke, their unique accent plus their sometimes incomplete words were quite cute.

Emira puts a hand on her hip "Alright well you'll have to be standing to start this one, it won't be nearly as easy as the light spell so don't be too upset if you don't get this one as fast" she instructs.

Indigo stands up and nods in understanding.

Edric moves to stand beside Emira and they both spin a finger, vanishing in a puff of smoke and appearing in the others place "For this, you have to know where you want to go and focus on that spot, for now you shouldn't try to go too far away, maybe just the top of that stump beside you" Edric says.

Indigo looks at the stump carefully, before nodding her head.

"Okay and one last thing, do NOT picture somewhere that someone else is already standing unless you are switching with them like me and Ed just did, the end result, while not harmful, can be very awkward" Emira warns.

Indigo nods and looks back at the stump, focusing hard on standing on top of it before trying the spell, nothing happened right away from Indigo's perspective, but a moment later they were falling through the sky!

Indigo lets out a yell and closes their eyes, spinning the finger and trying to think of where she had last been.

The wind was knocked out of Indigo as she landed somewhere, groaning as they lifted their head to see where they landed, they were in fact, laying on top of the back of Edric, Emira and Amity were running over with Luz hot on their heels.

Indigo rolls off of Edric "Sorry" they gasp out, Edric gives a cough and a strained "Dont worry about it" as he sits up.

"What just happened?" Luz asks as Emira and Amity kneel by Edric while she checks out Indigo.

"'Tried the spell, was in the sky, tried to ge' back…" Indigo tried to summarize, taking deep breaths between every few words.

Edric was unharmed for the most part, thankfully, he had been trying to find Indigo when they vanished and didn't appear right away, he had not expected them to materialise right on his back.

Emira checked the two for general injuries and found nothing.

"Really, I'm fine," Ed says several times as Emira asked him questions.

Indigo sat in silence for the most part, their knees at their chest so they could hug them, their mind was on the topic of where the heck they had ended up, they hadn't been thinking about the sky.

Once Emira was thoroughly sure that Esric wasn't hurt, she turned to Indigo "Where did you end up?" She asks.

Indigo points up at the sky "I was too high to ma'e out where abou's I was" they clarified softly,

"That's…. Very unusual, even for your age your magic shouldn't be strong enough to take you that far, let alone so far off your intended goal" Emira says. "Are you one hundred percent sure you were thinking about going to the stump?" She asks, a little gentler, seeing just how freaked out Indigo seemed by her words.

Indigo was sure they had been thinking about the stump, right up until they spun, their finger, which reminded them of the morning before when Ed was a bat, which reminded them of flying…

Indigo lets their head fall against their knees with a groan of realisation.

"I was, but once I cast the spell I remembered flying yesterday…" they spoke in their head again, a bit too stressed to try speaking aloud anymore.

Emira blinks, nodding "Speaking generally, you really shouldn't have had the power to go beyond this clearing, the fact that you ended up so high means your magic is particularly potent in Illusions, you could probably give me and Ed a run for our money and we can go pretty far away" Emira tries to bring it to a positive conclusion but it seemed Indigo didn't see it that way.

Amity had pulled Luz aside to speak to her quietly out of earshot, Amity seemed to be feeling anxious about something and Luz seemed to be trying to reassure her.

Indigo stood soon after and started to walk off on their own, Edric was quick to follow after them even as his sisters told him not to bother them.

Indigo had found a small area to sit down in with decent sized boulders all around.

Edric hesitated as he saw where they were sitting, wringing his hands nervously, he wasn't necessarily great at cheering people up, but he wanted to try.

Edric scales the small boulder, finding Indigo had left just enough space for him to sit by them, they had probably known he would follow them.

"Hey, you okay?" Edric asks quietly.

Indigo sighs softly, choosing to speak through their mind again "I don't know, this is all really new to me, the light spell was really neat and I loved learning it, I guess I got pretty excited about learning the vanishing spell, but when i started falling, I haven't felt so afraid in my life, not even when i cut off my emotion tracking"

Edric nods "I'll bet, the most negative thing you were expecting for to happen was it not to work, its okay to be scared of what happened, but I hope you wont quit trying, even if it went that wrong, you still did the spell, just a bit too well, and you managed to recover and get back to us"

Indigo looks at their feet "I still hurt you" they think to him softly.

"It didn't hurt" Esric denies

"I can tell that it did hurt, it hurt you quite a bit more than you were willing to tell your sisters, I was falling at a considerable speed when I hit you, at the least you'll end up with severe bruising"

Edric makes a "psh" sound and waves a hand as if dismissing the fact "I've had worse, this one time me and Em were pulling an awesome prank on a teacher, but one of the ingredients kinda exploded, not sure how it happened, they should have all been completely harmless, either way I was able to keep Em safe by covering her up with a shield spell, but I ended up pretty beaten up afterwards, man our parents were furious with us"

Indigo listens in silence as Ed speaks

"A shield spell?" They ask quietly.

Ed glances over at them "Yeah watch!"

Ed spins a finger and some form of bubble substance covers them both on an aquamarine colour "I learned this one in secret, I just thought it'd come in handy in case… well the thing I just told you about happened" Ed shrugs and looks at the shield.

Indigo reaches out to push against the bubble, it only gives a little before pushing against their hand to prevent them going further.

"This seems powerful," Indigo observes.

"Yeah, Emira doesn't even know that I know it, she had her eyes closed the whole time, she thinks she just got lucky with where the blast hit, that it just so happened to only hit me, she'd be pretty mad if she knew I learned a spell I wasn't supposed to" Ed's ears droop a bit at the thought of Emira being more mad at him.

Indigo feels their own ears twitch a bit, it wasn't fair that Edric had to hide his capabilities like that, for fear of the cold shoulder, from his own family no less.

"Can you teach me the spell?" Indigo asks softly, looking at Edric again.

Edric looks back in silence for a moment, Indigo knew he was thinking carefully.

"They'll want to know how you learned it.." Edric says softly

"I'll just say you explained the theory, I mean is it any more complex than teleporting myself into the sky?" Indigo says in good humour and Edrix can't help but smile back as they give him a sweet look.

"I suppose not"

-Luz-

"They sure have been gone for a while" Luz comments quietly to Amity.

The three had sat, waiting for the two to return for almost half an hour now, Amity and Emira shared a large stump as a seat while Luz lay across an adjacent one, her face hanging over the edge to look at the two witches.

"Should we go check on them?" Luz continues when she is met with silence, the silence was almost deafening.

Luz notices that both the girls seemed to be off in their own heads.

"GUYS!" Luz yells loudly and both girls jump out of their skin in surprise.

"Luz!"

"What the heck?!"

"Well sorry but you were both away in Lala-land and they've both been gone for like half an hour, shouldn't we go check and see if they are safe?" Luz asks for the second time.

Emira and Amity look at each other then back at Luz.

Emira stands up "They might just be talking, I'll send Ed a signal, if he sends one back then he's fine, if he doesn't then we will go and find them" she explains and twirls a finger, sending a blue flare of fire into the air where it popped like a mini firework.

A minute passed without a second flare and Emira got nervous, another minute, and another.

"Okay come on they went this way!" Emira says urgently and runs in the direction the two had gone.

It didn't take long for them to run across an Indigo glow in the distance and stumble across a field of boulders covered in a large indigo shield.

Inside stood Indigo and Edric, it was clear Edric was trying to talk to Indigo urgently but they couldn't hear him through the shield, he made calming gestures which implied Indigo may have been distraught.

Emira ran up and started hitting the shield.

Both Edric and Indigo jumped away before realising who it was and running over, hitting it back.

Emira didn't understand why Indigo wasn't thinking to her through the shield, or perhaps the shield was what was blocking it?

"Alright calm down!" Emira says and tries to make the motion to show what she is saying, the other two stop hitting the shield but neither looks particularly calm.

"Have you tried to dispel the shield?" Emira says, moving her arms like a game of charades.

Edric nods and makes a motion with his hands to imply something getting bigger.

"It gets bigger? Who cast it?" Emira asks and indicates between them.

Indigo raises her hand.

Emira covers her face with her hands for a moment.

"We might need the owl lady for this one" she says as she looks at Luz.

-One hasty explanation and irritated staff ride later-

"YOU TAUGHT AN EMPATH A SHIELD SPELL?!" Eda yells through the bubble, though the two didn't hear her, they could certainly tell just how angry Eda was right now.

Edric rubs his arm as Eda continues her angry rant.

"Of all the things! A shield spell! Do you realise how hard this shield is going to be to break? It'd take our old friend the Slitherbeast a week to break through this thing! Empaths are empowered by emotional stuff, the more they try while they're both distressed, the bigger it's gonna get!"

Luz watches Eda pacing back and forth, thinking carefully about what to do.

"Okay no more attempts until we know for sure that they're calm enough" Eda says for starters before going back to thinking.

Emira makes gestures to try and get this across to the others.

The two anxious teens nod their heads from inside the bubble to show they understood.

"Alright, Empaths are a tricky lot, everything is centred around their emotions and those of the ones they care about, chances are it's the boys emotions making them anxious, which means he must be worried about something, any ideas?" Eda asks.

"Given their current situation, probably the fact that he might miss curfew and make mom and dad mad again" Emira says.

"Mmm, fair point but they wouldn't have started it, though it could definitely be what's fueling it to get bigger" Eda says after mulling it over.

"Edric has been kinda down lately to be fair, you've kinda given him the cold shoulder a lot Emira" Amity adds, which makes Luz and Eda glance over at the teen, who looks away.

"Well I was trying to make up for it," Emira replies defensively.

"And how's he gonna know that if you don't tell him, you have barely talked to him apart from telling him what to do!" Amity chides back "All you had to say was "Okay Edric, I'm mad but I don't hate you" would that have been so hard?"

Emira glares at Amity and Amity glares right back, behind the bubble, Edric watches the silent screaming match continue, even Luz and Eda move away from the yelling siblings.

Eda tries to interject to calm the two down but quickly backs off as the two bark at her to keep out of it and return back to their argument.

Indigo looks to Edric in panic and he returns the look with one of desperation, the two quickly run out of sight behind a boulder.

Emira notices the movement and looks on as the bubble shrinks in on itself, centring around a small person sized boulder, both siblings run around it to see Edric with his face in his hands as Indigo tries to comfort him, neither look up as the two try to get their attention.

Amity looks at Emira "We upset him" she states bluntly.

Emira nods "yes, yes we did" she says as she sits on the ground "And it looks like none of us are making it back for curfew tonight"

"No, can't imagine what they'll have in store for us when we get back" Amity says and sits by her sister.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you, it was uncalled for" Emira says softly

"I shouldn't have blamed you for this either, it's my fault for starting it to begin with" Amity admits.

"Truce?" Emira asks and holds out a hand to Amity, who takes it and they shake one before dropping their hands to their laps.

Emira sighs and starts to speak again.

"I think I get why Edric ran off to the cave by himself now, he wanted to vent all this out without me telling him to just get over it like I always do, I don't mean it in a bad way! Its just, if mom and dad see him moping around they'll… things would get… a whole lot harder for him, you know how hard our parents can be, heck you take the brunt of it, you do everything perfectly and they're still really hard on you"

Amity nods her head "Yeah, I wasn't perfect in the beginning so… I became the scapegoat"

Emira shivers at that term "No, you are my sister, and Eds too, we should have, worked harder to keep you safe from them, instead of teasing and pulling pranks all the time"

"How could you have known better? It's all our family has ever been, it's not like anyone told you what you were doing wasn't okay"

"You did, but it only really clicked once Luz arrived, then Indigo… hoo did they let us have it back at the cave, I mean our ears were at stake! I've seen those teeth, they could just bite em off!" Emira says and covers said ears protectively, making Amity laugh, it sounded so genuine, not tainted by sarcasm or spite.

By the time the two noticed, the bubble had long since vanished, Indigo was asleep on Ed's shoulder as he sat there, just watching them talk.

"Oh! They got it!" Amity says aloud.

"Yeah, more like they fell asleep and the spell dispersed itself" Emira whispers quietly but gets an elbow to the side "I mean yeah! They did it!"

Edric gives a half hearted smile at the two of them "You two seem to be getting along better…" he observes quietly.

"Yeah we uh, we talked things out" Emira says "And… sorry Edric, for giving you the cold shoulder all this time, I was mad but that was no excuse to stop talking to you altogether like that, I know it can be lonely at home…"

Edric smiles softly and takes Indigo's hand, Indigo sits up and follows his lead with their eyes closed "Thanks guys" he says softly and glances at the sky "If we really book it we might just home for curfew"

"Ah jump on, I'll getcha's there in no time" Eda says and makes them all jump, sitting on her staff.

Luz trots over and takes Indigos other hand "I can bring Indigo back to the owl house, you guys just get home on time" she says brightly, very relieved that everything was good with the three.

Edric releases Indigo's hand, with some difficulty this time as they didn't seem to want to let it go.

Ed transforms into a bat to make the ride home easier, clinging to Emira's shoulder as they flew home, landing nearby in a wooded area so the Owl lady wouldn't get spotted.

"Alright you three, go home to those…. Mmm probably should just leave it there shouldn't I?" Eda winks and makes the three smile as she flies off again unseen.

-Luz-

Luz guides Indigo back to the owl house with relative ease, she was very grateful that Edric's trick worked with her as well, she wasn't sure at first if it was going to work at all.

Once inside Indigo was guided to the sofa to sit down, once Luz lets go, they sink back into it, Luz tosses a blanket over them and sits by them to wait for Eda to get back.

-Amity-

Once the three checked in with their parents, they all headed up to Amity's room to talk things out.

"So, we agree then?" Amity asks.

"Yep"

"Absolutely"

All three put their hands through a circle Amity creates before them

"No more pitting against ourselves or each other"

"No more letting our parents bully Mittens"

"No more isolating each other"

The circle fades into their wrists with a soft glow.
