PalisMeant for You

To say Indigo's first day was eventful would be an understatement. Word had slowly gotten around school about the new kids heroism and a lot of students now wanted to engage with them.

This was NOT ideal.

Indigo was currently hiding in an empty classroom, a lot of emotions swirling in their head making them dizzy.

Indigo groans quietly, pressing their palms to their forehead in an attempt to suppress some of it somehow.

Of course the action did nothing to soothe the constant flurry of anxiety, nervousness, paranoia and pressure that this place seems to emanate with.

After leaving the infirmary an hour or two ago, Indigo had been to something called General Education, it had been helpful, but there were a lot of new and very curious faces who, after class, decided to swarm them, causing them to get seperated from Ed and Em who had shared the class with them but were unable to sit near them this time.

Indigo had panicked upon being swarmed and had literally run up the wall and across the roof to get away from the crowd of kids, though the kids just saw an awesome trick being performed and cheered a bit.

So now Indigo stood, books on the floor with their head in their hands and one nasty headache, there weren't nearly enough positive emotions nearby to quell the horrible ones.

A clicking sound made Indigo's head snap up to see the chalkboard before them opening, they hadn't noticed the drawing of a door with a keyhole in the middle when they ran inside this room.

As the door opened, Indigo could feel positivity and latched onto it immediately, they recognised it as Viney's, which made them sigh with relief as said girl poked her head out of the door and spotted Indigo.

"Hey, you okay? You look stressed, is the ankle giving you trouble? Or maybe the coyotree toxins still in your system?" Viney asks as she slides out of the door.

"Nah, 's not thah" Indigo says quietly, one hand still rubbing their head "Am jus' a bih overwhelmed ah guess, alo'ah people know me all o' a sudden, 's jus' too much teh handle" Indigo puts their other hand back at their side as Viney walks over to examine their eyes.

"Yeah first day fame can be scary, but also short lived, once the next big story hits the grape vine, you'll not have to worry about it" Viney reasaures them gently, she could see they were under some kind of stress, even if they didn't want to say what exactly it was.

"If you want… I can help you get to class on time without having to be in the corridors" Viney suggests "Just till this blows over"

Indigo looks down at Viney, being a head taller than her and gives a soft half smile, remaining silent for a moment before nodding.

Viney couldn't read their mind but it felt like she didn't need to, it's like she could feel their gratitude radiating from them, and thus, Viney led the way to the chalkboard and hopped in with Indigo not far behind.

-Luz-

"YOU LOST THEM?!" Luz says in panic with her hands on either side of her head.

Ed and Em rub their arms and nod

"They got swarmed when they left the room and by the time we got through the crowd they were long gone, We couldn't sit with them, we ended up at the back of class while they were at the front" Emira explains.

Luz thinks carefully, an idea strikes her and she begins running down the corridor, stopping to yell "Follow me!" Back at the twins.

Ed and Em follow Luz quickly as they head for a small room, the door had small bars in the window and so did the actual windows.

Luz looks to the chalkboard "Yes! Someone in there still, hopefully they can help us find Indigo!" Luz says, tapping the chalk keyhole and opening a doorway.

The twins eyebrows shoot up as Lux crawls into the passageway

"Cmon!" Luz calls through from the other side, the twins head inside where they are greeted with a small corridor and a wooden door with a "KEEP OUT!" Sign on it.

Luz trots up to the door and opens it carefully "Hello?"

"Luz!" Came a familiar voice.

Emira felt a little blush come to her cheeks and had to shake her head to stop it

Edric had, of course, noticed but chose to leave his teasing till later on.

Luz pulls back the door and the twins get a good look at the hall of doors, Luz was already walking towards Viney, who had just shut a door.

"Viney! I gotta ask for your help, we can't find our buddy Indigo anywhere, can we use your door to…"

Luz pauses as Viney holds up a hand

"Relax, your friend is fine, I saw them in the detention room by themselves, they looked really stressed out, so I got them to their next class through here so no one could bother them" she explains and points to a door behind them.

Luz lets out the breath she was holding while Viney spoke "Oh thank you! They aren't really good with big crowds y'see"

Viney nods "I figured, once word gets around that someone did something cool, they get all the attention for a while till something else happens"

Ed decides now is a good time to gently butt Emira forwards and walks with her so they end up beside Luz.

"Oh yeah I hope you don't mind, I showed them here cuz they're the ones who are kinda showing Indigo where to go" Luz says and rubs the back of her head.

Viney glances at the Blight twins, sending them a smile "I don't see a problem with them knowing about this"

Edric is quick to grin back and, rather than relish in Emira's embarrassed face, chooses to take the heat off her.

"How's Puddles doing by the way?" Ed asks eagerly

"Oh she's doing great! She seems to love you two, that's how I know you are both trustworthy" Vineys says with a grin.

Edric grins at that and elbows Emira "Here that Em, we are trustworthy!"

Emira snorts and looks to the side "Yes I heard" she says and tries to hide her very pleased smile.

"Well, since you guys came here, I can help you all get to class on time too, it's gonna start in a few minutes, where you all headed?" Viney asks.

"Oh we are back in Illusions again" Ed says quickly.

"I'm in Abominations with Amity!" Luz says with excitement.

"Illusions is third up, Abominations is fifth" Viney says and points to the staircase.

-Amity-

Amity Blight had seen a lot of strange things when getting to class early, one she had not been expecting was the sight of Luz walking out of the wall and closing it behind her, she was sure she was halLUZinating, ugh she has been hanging around Luz too much, now SHE was making bad puns, but it was so dumb she thought Luz would probably adore it.

Amity watches Luz until Luz turns and yells, falling backwards, right into a seat, which Amity may or may not have used a spell to move so the fragile human didn't hurt herself.

"Whoa! Amity! Your early, I mean, of COURSE you're early, you're Amity!" Luz says as she stands and makes an awkward gesture, one that Amity remembered making herself on the day of that grudgby match with Boscha

, she remembered internally cringing after that word vomiting, so rather than let the poor human continue, she simply put on a smile.

"Oh, so it was you, for a moment I thought I was… hal-LUZ-inating"

Luz stared slack jawed for about ten second before the biggest, goofiest smile erupted on her face and she burst out laughing.

"Pffffft HAHAHAHAHA Oh my gosh! that was so good, oooh! You have GOT to let me use that!" Luz looks at her pleadingly.

"It's all yours"

"Yes! I'll be sure to give you ALL the credit for it"

"Please don't"

"Hehehe!"

The two had basically sat bantering till the class started.

Luz had been slowly experimenting with a new glyph idea, it mostly consisted of watching Amity summon a small hand sized Abomination and trying to work out if there were any glyphs she could make out from it, so far all attempts had yielded nothing, but Luz was determined to make it work.

The Abominations teacher was surprisingly patient with Luz and even encouraged her to continue watching his "Top student" as he figured if anyone could help them it would be Amity

"Well, Miss Noceda, how is the progress?" The stubby man asks as he approaches their shared desk.

Luz was studying the abomination carefully.

"I'm thinking maybe it could be the face this time!" Luz says and begins trying to draw a new glyph.

Amity glances at the teacher who just smiles and clasps his hands together, in hope that this one might be right.

Once finished, Luz taps the paper, it crinkles but nothing happens.

"Darn! I thought I had it this time" Luz says and slumps forward with a sad little noise.

"Do not fret Miss Noceda, Abominations are a complex spell! Even Miss Blight has to give her all when creating one, do not be discouraged. I have the utmost faith that you will figure this out!" The teacher says as he is carried off by his personal abomination.

Luz lifts her head at the teachers words and gets the most psyched up look on her face.

Amity smiles softly as Luz gets right back to trying to draw a new glyph, her eyes were narrowed with concentration and she stuck out her tongue a little. That look alone made Amity giggle before looking back at her abomination, it sat on the table and moved its head too and fro every so often, it's dark eyes with small dots for irises looked up at its master and her partner every once in a while.

Amity began to wonder if being small was really the best way to study it, Luz had to squint to see it properly, what if the glyph was hidden in a minute detail rather than a full body thing.

Amity glances back at Luz and sees yet another failed glyph crumple up, but this time the humans eyes didn't lose their spark.

"Hey Luz?" Amity begins but her confidence falters as Luz gives her her undivided attention, which involves a very cute looking smile and wide expectant eyes.

"Yeah Amity?" Luz asks when Amity doesn't continue.

Amity clears her throat and chooses to look at her abomination rather than those very distracting brown eyes.

"I think maybe you can't see what might be the glyph because this one is too small, you said before you found the flower glyph by using a magnifying thing, so what if the glyph is really small, me making such a small one could be hiding it from view" Amity explains as she picks up the abomination, glancing sideways at Luz to find her looking at the abomination, tapping her chin with a finger with her arms crossed but arm held up to let her hand support her chin.

"That… would make sense!" Luz says and pulls her arms away to drop a fist into her palm before looking at Amity "How big of an abomination do you think you could make?" She asks gleefully.

Amity thinks back to Grom, wondering if she could pull off such a large abomination once again, she had definitely been at her best then, what with being able to dance with her crush and all, but she didn't want to disappoint Luz.

"I'm not sure but we can try later, I don't think the teacher wants a huge abomination being summoned in the classroom right now" Amity says, smiling as she looks back at Luz but feeling her face redden as Luz looks at her in excitement

"I can't wait! We might finally crack the abominations glyph!" Luz says and pumps a fist in excitement,

-Indigo-

Viney made good on her promise, for the rest of the day, Indigo was personally escorted through the hall of doors to whichever class they had to get it on time and before anyone else was around so they didn't get swarmed.

Indigo also met two others who used the room, a tall lanky boy named Jerbo and a small canine named Barcus, who Jerbo often translated for.

Indigo enjoyed the brief chat they had with the two but after the first meeting they didn't get to see them again that day, before they knew it the day was over.

Indigo grabbed their books, ready to head to the entrance to meet Luz and head back to the Owl house, but halted in their tracks when they felt something, it felt like eyes were on them, knowing eyes.

Indigo shivered and looked around frantically, all the students were simply packing up to leave, no one's gaze was on them, but a flutter at the window drew their eyes to a pair of… birds?

Indigo stared at the birds, they didn't know what species they were, one was jet black with red eyes and the other was pure white with dark blue eyes.

Indigo felt something in the pit of their stomach… it wasnt fear… nor anger or regret… this was new, this was horrible and Indigo did NOT want it, they tpoe their eyes from the birds and hurried to get out of the room.

Making their way through the halls, Indigo avoided looking through any windows, for the sheer unease they felt that the birds would be there, driving them to keep their eyes pinned forward.

A hand touching their shoulder made Indigo jump and recoil, they hadn't been focusing on any emotions and had missed the pleasantness that Rdric always gave off around them, yet now he was startled by their reaction.

Edric's positivity dwindles into worry almost immediately and it made Indigos stomach squirm, they didn't know if they could take that for very long, so they quickly played their rearcton off as a joke, pulling up a fake smile, well it be fair it was only half fake, of all the people they knew, Edric was the one they needed right now, he always made them want to smile.

Edric bought their "joke" and laughed "So you gonna head back to the owl house with Luz?" He asks cheerfully.

"Yeh, she said teh meet 'er at the entrance" Indigo explains, Edric's calm, positive attitude was already helping soothe some of their worries and that horrible feeling.

"Mind if I walk with you? Emira wanted to go explore the hall of doors, but I think she just wants to hang out with Viney some more" Edric says with a wink.

Indigo chuckles lightly to themselves.

Edric gasps and points "Wait… you would know wouldn't you?!" He says excitedly and points at them as they begin walking slowly to the schools entrance.

"Ah couldn't tell yeh even if ah wanted teh Ed" Indigo says teasingly.

"Aw come on please? I swear I won't tell her you told me" Edric says pleadingly.

"Sorreh, no' even yer cutes' looks gonnah geh meh talkin' Ah refuse teh share somethin' thah personal" Indigo says and boops the boys nose with a finger.

"Awww, but you can tell if someone feels something for someone else?" Edric asks curiously, also a little worriedly.

"Ah can, yeh" Indigo confirms.

"Right, right" Edric says quickly

"Are yeh worried about meh knowin somethin?" Indigo asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Nope!" Edric says quickly.

"Funneh… cuz yah been tryin' teh block yer mind fer a while now" Indigo says and pokes his forehead

"... Is it working?" Edric asks hopefully.

Indigo chuckles at the blatant confession.

"Ah mean a li'le, bu' it dunt really help when ah already know whah yer hidin' now do it?" Indigo asks and Edrics ears go bright red.

"Wait you know?!" He asked desperately, he looked panicked and the last thing Indigo wanted was to worry the poor boy.

"Nah man Ah'm messin whichah" Indigo says quickly "Yer secrets safe so long as yeh keep it up, ah ain' gunna pry, if yeh really dun' wan' meh teh know then Ah ain' gunna know"

Indigo watches the panic melt away into relief and a thankful look.

"Thanks Indie, I will tell you sometime but…not yet" Edric lowers his gaze, but lifts it again as the two head out of school.

Indigo was momentarily wondering who "Indie" was before realising Ed was using a "nickname" as Luz called it, an affectionate way of calling someone by something else to show friendship.

Indigo felt pleased, they liked that nickname, especially since Edric chose it for them.

Once outside, the two look around "Hmm, Luz isn't around.. maybe they got held up in class, Amity should be meeting me here too" Edric says.

Indigo focuses for a moment through all the buzzing emotions to try to locate the two people they were after, it only took a moment to find those budding feelings of ecstatic joy and flustered nerves.

"Thah weh" Indigo points and starts in that direction.

Edric follows quickly as they head around the school to a small forested area where they were greeted by the summoning of a large abomination, which of course, took Indigo by surprise and made them step back, straight into Edric, who held fast so they didn't bolt away, which they initially tried to.

"Relax, relax, I'd know Amity's abomination magic anywhere" Esric says soothingly, letting go of them as they slowly calmed.

"Ah dun' like them things" Indigo says, though they were over the shock, they still slunk behind Edric, gripping the back of his shirt for support.

Edric didn't seem to mind and simply looked up at the abomination

"Must be her biggest one yet, wonder what she's doing summoning it here" Edric says and looks around, the abomination seemed to be picking something up, which, on closer inspection appeared to be Luz, who held something up to the creatures eyes, looking through it carefully.

"Whah she doin?" Indigo asks from behind Edric

"No idea, but it's Luz so I'd hesitate to even guess" Edric says calmly.

"Ah don' like that eh's got 'er like thah" Indigo says and grips Edric's shirt tighter, making him flinch a little.

"Easy now, its Amity's if there's one thing I do know, its that if anything, that's the safest place can and ever will be" Edric says and turns to place a hand on indigo's arm

Indigo looked over at the scene again, the mud creature didn't look very inviting, but Luz held no fear at all for it, Amity's emotions were even and careful.

Indigo nods once when Edric gives them a pat on the arm

"Ah s'pose yer right, ah just… don' like em, ah canneh tell whah it's thinkin', it doesn feel anythin' ah all" Indigo says with a shudder.

Edric nods "I'm sure that's unsettling for you, but it's under Amity's complete control, so just think of it as having Amity's feelings instead, it's just like an extension of her, look how gently its holding Luz up"

Indigo tilted their head a bit and thought about that, it made sense, so they simply began examining the creature and letting Amity's emotions run through their mind instead of its only empty blackness of a mind.

A lot of care, trust, intrigue and love was the end result, Indigo began to see it in how the creature held and looked at Luz, those eyes seemed to look directly at Luz as she examined them, its hands held Luz, not tightly or contrainingly, but just enough to give them the boost they needed to see what they needed to see, its mouth, while definitely not smiling, was kind of evened out rather than frowning.

Something white flew by behind the creature and caught Indigo's attention in all the worst ways, the feeling was back, and so where those birds.

Indigo felt their grip on Edric tighten so much the boy audibly yelped and had to reach back to pull their hand off of him

"Indie! Hey, hey!" Edrics snaps his fingers in front of them and brings them out of their horrified staring match with the two birds, their eyes snap to his instead.

"What's wrong?!" Edric says quickly, his eyes dart up to the birds they had been looking at, slight recognition in them before darting back to theirs.

"Ah dunno, when ah see them birds Ah feel… I dunno whah eh is an' Ah don like eh an ah don wanna feel eh!" Indigo says rapidly, they were trying to get out of Edrics tight hold, he had their hand caught in his and refused to let go easily.

"Hey, hey, they're a pair of Mimicdaes, the most they could do to you is mimic your voice, there's no reason to be afraid of them"

"Am no' scared o' them!" Indigo practically yells at Edric "Ah jus' wan' teh ge' away from em! Somethin' feels wrong an ah don'' like eh, now le' meh go!" Indigo pulls hard at their hand but Edric, even to his own surprise, doesn't yield, he instead gets dragged along a bit till Indigo does something he hadn't expected.

Driven by the instinct to get away from the birds, Indigo leans forward and opens their mouth, as if ready to bite Edric's hand, Edric let's go out of sheer surprise and falls back as Indigo also stumbles back.

Indigo's eyes, locked on Edric, filled with regret and for a moment they reach out, as if to apologise, but one of the birds moves and their eyes flicker back to them, in panic, Indigo bolts away.

"Indie wait!" Edric yells, he runs after them as soon as he is on his feet, but once they were out of sight, there was no way to track them down, Edric stopped and started calling to Indigo, the forest they had run into was juge and full of very dangerous creatures!

Edric knew going in alone was a very bad idea, for once Edric chose to do the smart thing and ran back towards the school, first getting Amity and Luz and catching them up on what happened, they all went to find Emira, which meant they also found Viney.

"So they just ran off into the forest? Because of some Mimicidaes? They do know those things are harmless right?" Viney asks as she rides Puddles with Emira behind her, scouting the forest for any sign of the missing witch.

Edric nods "I told them that, they said it wasn't out of fear, but then what would make them run like that from some birds?" Edric seems to be talking more to himself.

Luz and Amity sat in front of Edric on Owlbert, whom Luz had borrowed from Eda. Both girls scanned the forest.

"Either way, it's not good that they're out here all alone, anything could and would pick them off in sec...Ow" Vinry is briefly interrupted as Emira gives her a pinch and a quick "Sh" before jutting her head at Edric, who was paling with every word she said.

Viney glances at the worried boy and at Emira but giving an apologetic look at her and nodding.

"But don't worry, me and Puddles know this place like the backs of our… uh… feet! If anyone can find them, it'll be us first"

This little speech seems to give Edric a little more colour back and his eyes started searching a lot harder again.

"There!" Came Amity's voice. Luz turns her head to see Indigo heading inside a familiar alcove

"Oh shoot! Indigo wait!" Luz cries out and dives towards them quickly, causing both amity and Edric to hold on for dear life as they plummet very quickly.

Indigo's head snaps around and they jump into a tree, scaling it quickly to get out of Owlberts path as Luz puts her feet down to stop, sending all three of the staff's passengers over it and into a heap.

Luz lay under Amity who was being squashed under Edric, who slid off them quickly so his poor red faced sister could scamper off of Luz and let her sit up.

Indigo slid down the tree to stand half behind it, their eyes checked all three over as their mind searched for any pain in their emotions, finding none, Indigo chose to stay behind the tree.

Edric was the first to stand up

"What the heck Indigo?!" He demands angrily "Do you have any idea how dangerous this place is?! You could have been eaten alive!"

Amity and Luz look at Edric in surprise, it was very odd to see him of all people getting angry, especially AT Indigo.

Indigo cringes away, this was why they chose to hide, they had felt Edrics anger as soon as the three had landed, he was furious with them, specifically for putting themselves into what he deemed unnecessary danger.

Indigo doesn't reply after Edric's outburst and this only spurs him on to keep speaking

"Like, seriously? Those birds were harmless, why the heck did you have to run all the way out here because of them? Did their emotions tell you something? Why didn't you just tell me?!"

This spurred Indigo to speak back

"Ah did! Yah though Ah was jus' scared!"

"Well yeah! You acted scared! You nearly ripped the back of my shirt off when they appeared, then you tried to bite me to get away from them! If that doesn't scream scared then what does?" Edric demands back, but his anger was fading fast, it was rapidly being replaced by his natural concern and care for Indigo.

Indigo wasn't angry at Edric, his response was completely valid, nothing he said or did was unfair or unreasonable, granted he misinterpreted their emotions but then again, they didn't even know what they were feeling.

Indigo looks at the two girls behind Edric, neither had made a move or said a word, they just looked worriedly between the two, Amity, to her credit, also knew the thing Edric thought he was keeping secret in his head, this caused another level of worry in her mind.

Indigo's eyes flick back as Edric moves forward since they hadn't responded.

Indigo stayed perfectly still as Edric walked right up to them, wordlessly opening his arms to them.

Indigo doesn't hesitate, they immediately jump forward to accept the hug, boy did they need it right now.

Indigo decided they wanted to speak to just Edric for a moment, carefully thinking only to him.

"I'll admit, I was scared, but I wasn't scared of the birds, I was scared of the new feeling they gave me, I've never felt it before, not even off someone else, it was completely new and horrible" Indigo's grip tightens a bit as they thought about it.

Edric's grip tightens right back, he must have figured out that they wanted to keep this between them, simply nodding against their shoulder slowly.

A sharp, foriegn set of emotions came barreling into Indigo's mind and made them yelp, instinctively pulling Edric away as something large landed behind them.

Luz stood up now and Amity followed suit but only Luz was brave enough to step forward to speak.

"Hi… Bat Queen" she says somewhat nervously.

Indigo had been forced to let go of Edric, he now stood with an arm out in front of both them and Amity.

The Bat Queen eyed Luz carefully and then those behind her.

"Ah, Luz ze human! Velcome back, do you come wit' news? Or just for a visit?" The Bat Queen enquiries.

"Sorry Bat Queen, I haven't found anything out just yet, I am still looking, but… we were just looking for our lost friend who just happened to come this way" Luz explains quickly.

The Bat Queen looked directly at Indigo and Indigo felt that feeling tenfold, it made them fall back onto the ground, held up by their arms as their legs gave out.

"Hmm, we recognise this one! So you have finally showed up, pity for you! For vhat you seek left veeks ago in search of you!" The Bat Queen turned to face Indigo fully.

"Wh-Whah are yeh talkin' abou'?" Indigo asks in confusion, Edric was trying to help them stand up but their legs were like jelly, he ended up supporting them with their arm around his shoulders while his arm held their waist to keep them upright. Edric had never seen Indigo so shaken up before, they were even shaking a little.

"Ve speak of the pair of Palismens zat your parents left behind for you, zat is vhy you come here, no?" Bat Queen asks.

Indigo shakes their head quickly "Ah jus' recognised dis place, whah yeh mean paren's ah don' have those"

The Bat Queen seemed confused before her face took on a look of pure sadness.

"Ve see… zat is unfortunate, you don't know zem, you don't remember zem"

"Remembah who?" Indigo asks in confusion but the Bat Queen had already turned away, only turning back to say "Find zem, zey can show you vat you vish to know"

Indigo doesn't speak, simply watching the Bat Queen fly back into the forest.

Luz walks over to them "Do you think she meant the two birds you keep seeing?" She asks softly.

Indigo couldn't answer Luz's question, their mind was buzzing, this area was full of that emotion and it made them feel so very ill.

"Weh need teh leave..." they murmur in the voice of someone whose about to be sick

Edric nods and looks at Luz and Amity "Let Indigo ride with you guys, I'll fly beside you, we need to meet up with Emira and Viney, I'm not sure where they went after we dived like that"

Luz gets Owlbert ready as Amity sits behind her, the two look at Indigo, who still looks ill, Amity scoots back after a moment and Edric helpd Indigo sit between the two girls.

Indigo grumbles a bit but neither girl is having any of their weak arguments as Amity holds them steady while Luz gets them in the air.

Edric transforms himself into a bat and flaps after the two, he was far slower than them, so Luz pauses mid air to wait for him

"Ed grab onto me" Amity calls, realising just how hard it was for him to fly after them even at their slowest speed.

Bat!Ed does just that, he thought it would be easier to fly but he was very mistaken, landing on Amity's shoulder and giving her a grateful nudge with his nose.

Once out of the general area, Indigo began to get some of their usual, still very pale, colour back.

Puddles and the two flying on her back weren't hard to spot from far off and soon the other two members of the search party had found them.

"What happened?" Emira asks, noting the somber looks on all of them, apart from Bat!Ed who she could barely see.

"Ah think eh's best weh explain la'er" Indigo says, still having to hold Luz tightly to stay on the staff, Amity still had a good grip around them, holding Luz for support as well.

Viney led the way back to the Owl house and landed, helping Emira off of Puddles.

"Thank Viney! You were a great help!" Emira says softly, smiling at the double track student who smiles back

"Anytime, I get the feeling you guys aren't sharing all the details with me right now but I trust in due time I'll know what's going on?" Viney asks, raising a brow.

Emira rubs the back of her neck and glances at the others.

Indigo was looking back at Viney, they nodded once in confirmation.

Viney nods back "Alright then, for now I won't ask, but if you need anymore help, let me know" she says as she jumps on Puddles back once again, pausing as Emira steps forward and asks her something, too low for the others to hear.

Viney seems momentarily stunned before smiling and nodding.

Emira steps back and heads back to the group with a small smile on her face.

Indigo knew Emira had been working up the courage to ask Viney to hang out after school for a little while now, she had finally found that courage and Indigo couldn't resist

"Good job, knew you could do it" came the soft whisper to Emira's mind.

Emira starts a bit before practically beaming at the show of support.

The twins looked at the sky and realised they were very close to being late for curfew again, apologetically running off to get home, explaining if they hurried they could get there just in time.

Luz offered to fly them back, but Edric told her she should get Indigo inside, pointing to the now asleep on their feet witch beside her, just before the three disappeared into the woods at a brisk jog.

Luz carefully guides Indigo inside and helps them to sit on the couch before fetching their favourite blanket, a nice fluffy one.

Luz noticed for the first time, Indigo's eyes were moving behind their eyelids, were they dreaming? Luz had never seen that before, but Luz knew trying to wake Indigo was a fool's errand so she simply had to let them be for now, heading to their room after letting Eda in on the day's events.
