A/N: Decided to post this late at night instead of early in the morning. Waking up to comments is always a good way to start my day. Today, we go back to the Human Realm for a quick trip.
"This had better be worth this humiliation, kids, or I'm going to hand out so many groundings." Eda grumbled as she was led, blindfolded and by the hand by Amity and Luz through the Human Realm.
Well, she was led by Amity. Luz was too busy curiously looking around to focus properly, amazed by the sights and sounds and smells of the human world to focus. Amity had thought the girl would have been here before, but apparently Eda did feel some kind of responsibility as a parent and had put her foot down on letting Luz use her door in the past.
"I don't want you wandering around, bug eyed and oblivious, into the streets and getting hit by a car! I've hit people with a car before, they don't tend to get back up." Eda had said. However, she had relented this time, since Luz was getting older, and more mature, and she'd have Amity as a guide. Amity was doing her best, and to her credit, Luz wasn't dead yet, so she thought she was doing a good job, even if it looked like Luz was seconds away from ditching them unintentionally to lick a light pole, or something.
Thankfully, they had made it to where Amity had wanted to guide Eda. The Treasure Trove, she had called it, hyping the place up to the witch. "Okay, you can take the blindfold off!"
Amity watched in amusement as the witch did so, and her jaw dropped. "Kid… we've just hit the jackpot."
Before Eda were mountains upon mountains of trash. Electronics of all shapes and sizes, toys, clothes, anything Eda could possibly think of to sell. All of it straight from the Gravesfield Dump and Scrapyard, the one place Amity could think of that Eda could take from freely without drawing suspicion.
Eda took off to the nearest pile, and Luz grinned beside Amity, "You did great! I've never seen Mom this happy about trash before."
Amity grimaced as she watched Eda dig through a pile, "I may have done too good of a job. She might try to Scrooge McDuck her way into those piles of trash, and swim through it to get to the really good stuff."
Luz just looked a bit confounded at that statement, but didn't disagree that Eda needed to be reigned in before she hurt herself by jumping into the piles.
They joined the Owl Lady at her sides, the woman already pulling out a sack from her voluptuous hair to stuff full of goodies. "You humans really throw away a lot of stuff. This is a goldmine! Better than a goldmine, I don't have to, you know, mine to get the gold. It's just here for the taking!"
She stuffed a radio with an incredibly bent antenna into the bag, "I didn't have my doubts about you before, kid, but this more than proves your worth. You need anything you just ask."
Amity laughed and folded her arms, ready to test that theory, "Oh yeah, like what?"
Eda paused, thinking, then turned to the girls, "How about Luz's hand in marriage? Is that good enough? You've just made the family rich, might as well join it!"
Amity blushed crimson, while Luz burst into giggles, "Mom! Don't say stuff like that."
"How about we just stick to the original deal, and you just teach me magic?" Amity grumbled, pulling the hood of the borrowed cat hoodie on over her face.
Not wanting to wear the same outfit every single day this week, and still in need of new clothes, Luz had lent Amity a few of her things. A lot of her outfits she kept at Eda's place were human in origin anyway, stolen from piles of clothing Eda had salvaged over the years, so Amity at least knew what was fashionable. And the hood had another benefit, keeping Amity's face hidden while she moved through this realm, where her parents had a good chance of finding her if she went out in the open.
Luz meanwhile, was wearing a dark blue Hawaiian shirt that had Pokémon on it instead of flowers. She'd been excited to show off her 'human approved demon shirt' to the world, wearing it proudly. Now if only she had ditched the mustard yellow cargo shorts she'd also brought along…
Eda shrugged at the kids, hiding her own grin over her teasing, "Suit yourself. I personally never thought it was all that bad being a Clawthorne myself. Or, in Luz's case, Noceda-Clawthorne."
"We are a fun bunch," Luz agreed enthusiastically.
If Amity wanted to stick around to be teased, she'd have stayed at home with the twins. "I've got some errands to run today while we're here. So, you take your fill, and I'll meet you guys later, okay?"
"Have fun, kiddo!" Eda bid, not glancing back as she lifted up a torn banner, appraising it's value.
Before Amity could leave however, Luz grabbed her by the wrist, "Wait! Can I come with you?"
The young witch gave Amity her best set of puppy dog eyes, which she learned from the best. No one could say no to King when he gave his own, and Luz had learned at his feet. Amity had no real intention of turning the girl down anyway, but seeing that look made her lose any ability to say no at all. "Fine, as long as it's fine with Eda."
Luz turned her gaze to her mother, intent on wearing her down with the same eyes, but Eda was already waving them off, "Go ahead, I trust Blondie to keep you safe. Or at least in one piece. Listen to her, she's from this realm, and if I hear you stepped a toe out of line, I'll be as mad as I will be proud, Little troublemaker."
The older witch gave Luz a fond hair ruffle, and with that the two girls left, heading back into town to get Amity's shopping done.
Gravesfield didn't really have a proper mall. They had a shopping center that a lot of locals called a mall, but Amity had been to malls before, and a handful of stores in the same parking lot didn't meet those standards. It would have to do, however, unless Amity wanted to take a bus out of town. Keeping the hood up, and thankful the cat hoodie didn't have something real embarrassing, like a tail, attached, she guided Luz down the roads and started the long walk to the shopping center.
It was a long forty minutes. Luz kept getting distracted, usually by various flora and fauna. Interesting plants that she said her friend Willow, who she'd talked plenty about before, would love, or all the bugs she was sure Hooty would love to eat. Amity kept having to grab Luz by the wrist to drag her along, fighting the urge to blush at the contact, Eda's offer still fresh in her mind.
Her, and Luz? Please. Not that there was anything wrong with the other girl(except that she'd tried to eat gum off a bench they'd passed by), but she was Amity's friend. Her first real friend her own age. The last thing Amity wanted was to get dumb feelings and mess that all up.
By the time the two girls made it, it could hardly be called morning anymore. Stomach rumbling, Amity mentally added a lunch bill to her list, and rationed her funds towards making sure they had full stomachs by the time they had to make their way back to Eda.
"Wow!" Luz looked around, gazing at all the buildings around her. She was used to tents and stalls in the local markets, not large brick and mortar shops that specialized in all sorts of items. Department stores, grocery outlets, a large Mal-Mart, "No wonder you guys have so much garbage, you have all these places that sell it!"
Amity snorted, not expecting that to be Luz's observation. Holding out her hand for Luz to take, she gestured with her head, "Come on, you dork. I'll show you around."
Luz glanced down at Amity's hand, and took it, lacing their fingers together. Amity realized just what it must look like to anyone watching them from the outside, but Amity had only done it to make sure Luz didn't get lost. If she did, Amity would never find her. Still, she was once again glad she'd be wearing a hood to hide her red face.
The first stop was to find some clothes. Four hundred dollars for a normal person was a lot of money for clothing, but for Amity that wouldn't have paid for a pair of jeans at one of the stores her mother liked to shop at. Knowing she was on a budget, she stopped by the Mal-mart first, hoping the prices would be low enough to fill her proverbial closet(as she did not have a literal one at the Owl House) for the next few months, if not years.
The human and the witch entered the store, Luz basking in the glory that was air conditioning during a warm summer day. If the parking lot had been a lot for Luz to take in, the inside of the store was sensory overload. The bright colors, in all shapes and sizes, the people wandering through the aisles, the music playing over the speakers, it all fried Luz's brain. The witch immediately tried to run off to a rack of discounted coats, only being held back by Amity.
"Luz, please, it's way too hot for a coat anyway." Amity insisted, tugging Luz over to the women's section. "Now, if you're good, we'll stop by the toy aisle to browse a bit, and maybe I'll even let you buy a candy bar when we're in line to pay."
Luz's pointed ears perked, making Amity pale as she hadn't considered those might make her stick out. "They have toys and candy here? I thought we were going to buy clothes?"
"Luz, this is a Mal-mart, they sell everything here. It's cheap, manufactured garbage that doesn't last long, but it is everything." Amity took a quick look through the discounted items, and found a cheap beanie, taking it and pulling it over Luz's head. "There. I don't want anyone seeing your ears. Too many questions."
Luz didn't look happy with having them covered, and pulled the hat right back off, her hair now a mess. "I can fix that."
With a swirl of her finger, which Amity immediately tried to cover with her body before anyone could see the circle of light that came with it, Luz's pointed ears disappeared in a puff of smoke, replaced instead with round ones just like Amity's. Amity couldn't help herself, reaching out and touching Luz's ears, making the witch giggle. They were still pointed, Amity could feel it, but her eyes still could only see them as round.
"It's an illusion," Luz explained, smacking Amity's hand away playfully.
Amity's brow scrunched up, "I thought your friend Augustus was in the Illusion's classes, and you were in Potions?"
The brown haired girl nodded, "I've picked up a few tricks," She said slyly, shooting Amity some finger guns.
The two made their way into the clothes, with Amity grabbing plenty of undergarments. It was one thing she didn't want to scrounge around for in trash piles, or borrow from Luz, after all. It was embarrassing to look through bras and panties while Luz was right there, though. After she was satisfied with those, they found some shoes, buying extra so Amity wouldn't be without. The human girl silently hoped that she wasn't about to hit a growth spurt soon though, because she wanted them to last a while.
Tennis shoes and some casual boots in hand, Amity browsed through the everyday outfits the store had on display, throwing a few cute t-shirts and pants from the clearance bins into her basket. However, even with those prices in mind, the cost was beginning to add up, and Amity was ready to call it a day at the Mal-mart. She had a cheaper place to be in the same parking lot, after all.
Amity still made good on her promise to Luz, taking her by the toy section. The witch ooh'd and aah'd at the colorful selection of plastics, pointing to a particular display "What are these?"
Amity took a look, then frowned, "I am not even sure where to begin on how to explain the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to a witch from another world."
They went through the aisles, Luz having a particular fondness for the action figures. The idea of Legos blew her mind, with the witch making a verbal mental note to pitch the idea back home as a get-rich-quick scheme, until finally-
"Oh. My. Titan. Is that what I think it is?" Luz raced away from Amity's side over to a colorful display that heralded what just might be the greatest thing either girl had ever witnessed.
"Special Edition Azura and Hecate figures, with movie accurate battle damage from their fight against the Beast of the Bog?" Amity gasped, looking at the set of action figures.
"I have never needed anything more than I have needed this," Luz was practically salivating over the toys, picking up one of the boxes. "How much do these cost?"
Amity took a look at the price, and winced. Fifty for each, with Azura and Hecate sold separately. Pennies for her previous life, but far too costly for what she had to spend now. "I'm sorry, Luz. I just don't have the funds."
Luz frowned, but nodded in understanding, surprising Amity by not whining as she placed the box back. "Getting you the stuff you need to live is more important than toys."
Her serious expression broke, "But you'll still buy me a candy, right?"
Amity couldn't help but giggle, and made sure to buy Luz two.
With Mal-mart being too expensive to fill a closet entirely on her budget, Amity's next stop was a thrift store in the same parking lot. It was one of the only stores in the area Amity had never been inside, forbidden by her parents to even think about it. That hadn't stopped her mother from using the same location to attain free publicity by donating her old clothes to it, though. She just never mentioned that it was because those were last season's clothes, and as such she would never wear them again.
Amity quickly explained to Luz what a Thrift store was, and after getting a look around the place the witch exclaimed, "It's a good thing these things don't exist in the Demon realm."
"What's that?"
"Mom would try to burn it down." Luz explained, winking at Amity, "Too much competition for her stand to stay in business."
They quickly finished up their shopping, Luz joining Amity in trying various items on, before putting them back, and keeping herself entertained until Amity was satisfied with her selection.
Ladened down with bags and empty tummies, the two girls decided the next place to stop was for some lunch. Eager to get her fill of human food before she had to go back to what passed as edible in the Demon realm, Amity treated Luz to pizza at a make-your-own style place near to the shopping center. Luz had to stay away from the dairy, but they did have some vegan cheese, and the witch tried a pizza with everything on it. Literally everything. From the way the cooks eyes bulged at Luz's requests, it was clear they'd never dealt with a customer quite like her before.
The two girls sat across from each other, eating their richly deserved treat, Luz basking in the flavors this new world opened for her. "I hope this doesn't make me sick like our food did to you!"
Amity smirked, "I'm sure you'll be fine. You can stomach pineapple on pizza, I'm sure you can stomach anything."
Watching Luz laugh filled Amity with a warmth she hadn't felt in a long time. It was nice to be able to spend the day with a friend she actually cared about and liked for once, something she hadn't had for as long as she could remember. She'd been dragged around this same shopping center with Clara and a few other girls her mother approved of several times, but had always considered it a chore, something she put up with. She genuinely had fun today.
Also, watching Luz's reaction to carbonated soda was worth the price of admission, the girl being so surprised by the bubbles and laughing so hard it came out of her nose.
With one final stop at a store for gardening supplies and seeds for a variety of plants Amity intended to try and grow back at the Owl House to eat, they finally made their way back towards the town dump, only this time carrying a tower of packages and bags. At least Amity didn't have to keep as close of an eye on Luz, who didn't feel the urge to wander as they went, wanting to get back to her mother so that she wouldn't have to carry anything anymore.
The shrill cry of "You guys are back!" Met their ears as they stepped through the door, slipping across the barrier between dimensions and back into Eda's living room, all of them carrying their weight in items new and old.
The voice was King, who raced towards them with tears in his eyes. The diminutive demon clung to Eda's leg tightly. "You were gone so long, I thought you were all dead!"
Eda groaned, "Dramatic, much? I knew you'd miss us, but I didn't think you'd be that bad being alone for a few hours."
"I- I didn't miss you at all!" King insisted, wiping his eyes, "I just didn't want to send my minions over to avenge you! That's all."
"And he's not really alone," Another voice added, one Amity didn't recognize.
"Willow?" Luz asked, trying to reposition her mountain of baggage so she could actually see the other girl. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here as well," another voice added, a boy this time.
"Ah, Dweebus. Perfect timing. Wanna be a gentleman and take this from a frail old woman?" Eda asked, not waiting for a reply and shoving a good chunk of her haul into the tiny boy's arms. He quickly buckled under the weight, collapsing under a small mountain of garbage.
Luz set her things down, and helped Amity with her own, "What are you guys doing here? I wasn't expecting a visit from my besties today!"
Gus dislodged himself from the pile, and lay on the floor catching his breath, "King got a hold of your crystal ball, and called us over. He was really worried about you."
"I was not!" The diminutive demon insisted, clenching his fists and stomping his little foot.
Amity glanced at the two strangers, unsure how to introduce herself. These were Luz's friends, who she'd talked about off and on all week, and Amity wanted to make a good first impression. Fortunately, Luz noticed her standing awkwardly to the side and sought to rectify that, "Oh, everyone! Meet my new roommate, Amity!"
Snatching Amity's hand, Luz dragged the human over to her friends, and Amity gave a small wave, "Uh, hello! I'm Amity. The Human. I live here now."
The two new witches stared at her for a moment, before Willow cracked a kind smile, "It's very nice to meet you, Amity the Human, I'm Willow Park. Luz told us all about you at school, but wanted to let you settle in before we all met."
The girl held out her hand for Amity to shake, but as Amity made to grab it Augustus stepped in, practically barreling into Amity with a grin wider than any she'd ever seen. He took the hand that was offered to Willow and pumped it enthusiastically.
"Augustus Porter! Can I just say, it is an absolute honor to meet you!"
Amity pried her hand away, forcing a smile on her face. "The pleasure is all mine!"
"Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about the Human Realm?" Augustus asked, not waiting for Amity to answer before poofing up a notebook out of thin air. The boy flipped through it rapidly, making Amity's smile become even more strained as she saw how absolutely full of questions it was.
Ah, that was why Luz had wanted Amity to be settled in. She hadn't been kidding when she'd said Augustus was a human fanatic. "Look, Gus, maybe I can answer a few of them later-"
He paused, stopping his frantic flipping, "Gus?"
At first Amity believed from his reaction that she'd offended him, only for his grin to appear once more, "My own human nickname? Everyone, from now on I shall answer to Gus!"
That at least to take his attention off of his notebook, much to Amity's relief, and Luz patted him supportively on his shoulder. "If you remember, Amity, I told you that, uh, 'Gus' here is in the Illusion track at school. And Willow is in plants."
Amity didn't need Luz's knowing look to know she'd thrown her an easy conversation starter, but it didn't make Amity any less grateful. "Oh, yes! She did mention that! That sounds really interesting. Luz used an illusion to hide her ears while we were away."
Gus beamed with pride at his friend, who showed off her round-ear illusion. Turning to Willow, Amity added, "And we bought a whole bunch of seeds to grow some plants. I, uh, have some issues eating some of the food here."
Willow smiled politely, "I've never seen a plant from the Human Realm before. Do you need any help planting them?"
Amity nodded, mentally breathing a sigh of relief, "Yes, please. I have no idea how things like soil might be different here. Or if these will even grow. How does plant magic even work, exactly?"
Willow held out her hand, and Amity handed her a packet of seeds. Tearing it open, Willow retrieved a single seed, and glanced at it thoughtfully. Setting aside the pack and focusing on the one seed, she spun her finger and cast her spell, seeing if the plant would sprout.
At first nothing seemed to happen, causing both girls to frown, but then the seed burst open, a small sapling blossoming forth in Willow's hand. "Ah, it does work! That's great!"
Amity gazed in disbelief, grabbing Willow's hand and bringing it close to her face to inspect the plant. "That's amazing! You're so talented!"
Eda rolled her eyes from the couch, "That's baby stuff."
Luz laughed, "Don't be jealous, Mom. We are babies. But we'll be stronger than you one day!"
"Just you try," Eda said slyly, King blowing a raspberry their way to add insult to injury.
Willow just giggled, "Come on, let's get this outside and planted in the dirt."
The small group of children headed outside, going over to the tower in the back where Eda had a few spare pots laying around. Filling one up with soil, Willow put the sprouting seed inside and covered it up gently.
"How long does it take for you to make a plant like this to bear fruit?" Amity asked curiously.
Willow blinked, then chuckled playfully, "Oh, not long at all." With another spell, the plant burst forth in full bloom, fresh, ripe tomatoes on it's stems.
Amity could only stare, before grabbing another pack of seeds and getting ready to put them into the dirt, "Mama's gonna eat good tonight!"
Not wanting to be ignored, Gus joined the girls by the pots, helping fill them with soil. The boy seemed about ready to burst with questions, but after earning a warning glare from Luz he did his best to swallow them for now, instead asking "So, Amity, how are you settling in? I bet the Boiling Isles are really different from anything you've ever seen before, right?"
There was a look in his eyes begging that Amity missed, that begged the girl to please go into details about how the Human Realm was different so he could get some information to sate his curiosity. Instead, Amity just heaved a sigh, "It's very different. Sometimes, I feel a bit like Alice, stumbling blindly through Wonderland, wondering how much deeper this rabbit hole goes."
That was an apt comparison. Amity had always loved Alice in Wonderland. Her tutors back on Earth had of course had her read many of a broad selection of classic literature, but Alice was one that always stuck with her, for being so… unique. And unique was definitely one of the kinder words that Amity would very much use to describe the Demon Realm so far.
Her comparison however fell on ignorant ears, as all the witches looked at her like she'd grown a second, or even a third head. Gus whipped out his notebook and a pen, leaning in closely, "What did any of that mean?"
"So, what did you think of my friends?" Luz asked.
It was later that night, and they were sitting around the dinner table. Gus and Willow had left, staying only a little longer after Willow had got most of Amity's new garden blooming. Using what Willow had grown, Amity had been able to make herself a vegetable soup for dinner that night, which was proving to be delicious. Magic really was the way to garden.
"They were nice. Gus was a bit… much, but I know he was just excited. Willow was really sweet, though."
Luz sat up straight in her seat, a glowing smile on her face, "I'm so glad you got along with them. It's important that both my old friends and my new one get along, after all."
Amity felt her cheeks heat up at that remark, though she didn't quite understand why. "I'm glad we all got along too. If I- When I learn some magic, I'm hoping to go to Hexside with you guys, so it'll be nice to go to school with actual friends."
"Ugh, you're still on that?" Eda gagged, stuffing her own spoonful of soup into her mouth. Demon Realm soup, as they thought it would be best not to tempt fate. Luz didn't seem to suffer any adverse effects from her pizza lunch yet, but they still wanted to take it one vegetable at a time in case anything was poisonous to witches.
Amity smirked at the witch, "Of course. Magic school sounds so fascinating. And it could teach me a lot, unlike someone I know."
Eda grumbled, "You'll regret that. I'm going to learn you so hard you'll regret ever doubting my ability to teach!"
King snorted condescendingly, "Psh, as if! You're a terrible teacher, Eda!"
Luz chuckled at their antics, while Eda sized up the stack of items they brought from the Human Realm that was taking up space in her kitchen. "So, that's everything you managed to get with your human snails?"
"Dollars," Amity corrected, but nodded.
"Whatever."
Luz perked up, "Oh, wait, that reminds me!"
Then the witch shoved her arm elbow deep into her own hair, making Amity's eyes bulge. She'd seen Eda do the same thing plenty of times, but had never seen Luz do the same act. She always assumed Eda kept whatever she needed in her actual hair, held there in place by magic, not that it was some kind of pocket dimension. As Amity gaped in wonder, Luz pulled her arm out, hands clenched around a box that she handed over to Amity.
Amity held it in her hands, before leaping from her chair and wrapping her arms around Luz's neck, "Thank you so much! How did you even get this?"
"Oh, it was easy. I just waited until your back was turned and stuffed it in my head." Luz laughed, hugging Amity back. "Wait, let me finish the set."
With another hand in her hair, Luz pulled a second box, and placed it beside the other. The Azura and Hecate action figures stood beside each other, in all of their plastic glory, making Amity squee as she examined them. Half of her wanted to tear the packages open, and the other half wanted to keep them in there forever to preserve their collectors value.
Eda picked the Azura figure up, not looking impressed, "Big whoop, it's a toy. Now where's the really good stuff?"
Luz chuckled nervously, "Well, I did grab a few other things while we were there…"
The girl began to empty her hair, pulling one item after the other out. There was so much stuff filling the kitchen table that they had to start setting it on the floor. Tired of how slow it was going, Eda even grabbed Luz by the ankles at one point and shook her upside down so things just spilled right out of the witches head and onto a growing pile on the floor.
Amity recognized everything as items she had to pass up due to their price. Shoe boxes, perfume bottles, clothes, and to her embarrassment even some undergarments. Even one of the jackets and the beanie Luz had been looking at when they first entered the Mal-mart were there.
When it was all out, Eda took one long look at the haul, and gave a sharp whistle. "Damn. You make me proud, daughter-o-mine. We're making a crook out of you yet!" She enveloped Luz in a tight parental hug, that turned into a headlock and a noogie, causing the girl to scream and flail as she tried to get out of the hold.
King was swimming through the pile as Amity inspected it, trying to sort everything and have some kind of order. When he did a backslide by the human, her nose was overpowered and she realized the little demon had sampled every last bottle of perfume he could get his hands on, each scent fighting for dominance on his fur. "Luz, this is amazing. Really. But I do have one question."
Luz managed to pry her way out of her mother's arms, and settled in beside Amity, "Yeah?"
"If you could fit all of this in your hair, why did you have us carry our bags all the way back?"
Luz opened her mouth to try and explain, only to come up empty as she realized Amity was right. Eda just cackled at her daughter's expense behind her.
Even later in the night, Amity and Luz were back in their room, Amity's new belongings taking up a decent chunk of the floor space until they could find a place to put it all. Opened out of their box, and displayed with pride on Luz's desk were the Azura and Hecate figures.
Luz laid down in her bed, clad in her pajamas, and let out a sigh. "I'll miss you this next week. I hope you can learn some magic soon, that way when I'm gone, I'll still be able to see you at school when I'm staying at Mama's house."
Tomorrow Luz would be heading back to her other parent's house for a week. Amity would miss her while she was away, but understood that Eda only had half custody of Luz, and alternated weeks with-
"Wait, did you say Mama?" Amity asked, sitting up so she could see Luz from her spot on the floor.
"Yeah. I have Eda, who's my Mom, and Camila, who's my Mama." Luz cleared up, rolling onto her side so she could see Amity.
"How many Mom's do you have?"
"Just the two," Luz laughed.
"No dad?"
The witch shook her head, amusement twinkling in her golden eyes. "Nope, just the moms."
Amity laid back down, wondering how that even worked. Was Luz adopted? "Huh."
"You'll get to see Mama tomorrow, so that will be cool." Luz assured her, letting out a yawn.
"I'll be what now?" Amity asked, wondering when she was supposed to have learned this information.
"Oh, I guess it slipped my mind!" Luz let out a tired chuckle. "Mom is dropping me off tomorrow. Mama is going to be volunteering at something called the Covention tomorrow. She'll be at a Beast Healing Coven booth. Me, Gus, and Willow are all going to go, I thought it'd be a great way to teach you about how magic works on the Isles."
Luz craned her neck to get a look at her human friend, "Sorry, with everything that went down today, I totally forgot to actually invite you. I hope you wanted to go? You don't have to if you don't…"
Amity blinked at this new information, then laid back down. She had to be rested if she was going to have a busy day of learning ahead of her. "I'd love to Luz, thank you."
A/N: There are a ton of specialty covens, each splintered off from the main nine. We see that in the Covention episode. I like to headcanon how these different covens work. Like, I see the baking Coven we see in the show as a branch of the Potions coven.
This is to explain the Beast Healer coven. It's a vet. Camila is a veterinarian. How is that different from Viney? That depends on the episode. In Viney's first episode, Puddles is clearly being trained as her Healing assistant to help her heal Witches. She's more wanting to train to be a doctor who uses animals in physical therapy, rather than a vet, if you want a real world comparison. Then in her second appearance, she wants to be a vet. If/When Viney appears in this fic, I'll probably stick with the first one.
I'll go more into this in the next chapter, since it'll be the focus.
Also, I wanted to say that TOH inspired me to take Spanish, and I have over one hundred days logged into Duolingo. Mal-mart is a joke I couldn't pass up, because mal in spanish means 'ill, unwell' and fits so much with what Wal-marts are in the real world, and all I had to do was set it from Wumbo to Mini to make that joke!
Hope to read some feedback from you in the comments! Thanks for reading so far!
