*ding-dong*

Amity Blight opened the door to her family's estate to see Luz Noceda struggling to stand in front of her, bent over and panting heavily, cradling a large duffel bag in her arms.

"I-uh, hi-hi Amity." she said between deep breaths. "Just give me… a second." She swallowed a mouth full of air before looking up at the green-haired girl who answered the door.

"You're late." Amity replied with a look of annoyance, hiding the brief spike of excitement she felt upon seeing Luz actually show up. "You were supposed to be here almost an hour ago, where were you?"

"It's-it's not my fault. Since Eda left for a 'business trip', she left King in charge of keeping an eye on me until she gets back. And he is such a tyrant." Luz replied with a frown. "Just today, he wouldn't let me go until I found his favourite plushie, and even then he thinks I'm staying at Willow's for a few days." She let out a sigh, thinking back to earlier that day, when she spent almost 3 hours looking for one of King's many, many stuffed animals. He'd lost it somewhere in the depths of the house, and Lord knows Hooty wasn't a help considering it was *inside* him.

Luz's breathing began to slow down as she regained her composure. Standing upright in order to properly look at her host, it was at this moment she realized Amity was wearing a white bathrobe and a pair of green slippers rather than her usual pink and grey robes. Before she could comment, Amity cut in. "Alright, alright, I get it. Don't just stand there, get in here before somebody sees you." She held open the door and ushered Luz in. "You're lucky I'm patient." she said, rolling her eyes.

"Oh, yes! I. Am. *Super* grateful for this, Amity." Luz gushed, bringing her hands to her face and squeezing her own cheeks. "With Eda out of town and probablydoingsomethingillegal-" she continued, briefly looking off to the side while saying that second half as quickly and quietly as possible, "-I don't really have anyone else to teach me any advanced magic until she comes back. So, thank you for this." Luz beamed a bright, sincere smile at Amity, who simply stared back at her blankly as she closed the door behind her.

Amity took in Luz's dishevelled appearance, putting put her hands on her hips. "Well, since the twins are away visiting aunt Hickory and my parents out of town, albeit for *legitimate and legal* business reasons-" Amity began with a smirk making sure to emphasise the last part, causing Luz to respond with a sheepish smile, "-I have the entire house to myself for a few days. "She said matter-of-factly, looking quite smug with herself. "You picked the perfect time to ask for magic lessons." She then folded her arms with a frown, dropping some of her bravado. "Look Luz…I know what I asked of you was a bit out there. My price… we don't have to go through with this if you're having second thoughts." Her sentence trailed off as she looked away embarrassed, unable to make eye contact with the Latina out of shame. She honestly wasn't sure what was odder; her eventually blurting out what she wanted after Luz had begged non-stop for lessons, or Luz the fact Luz actually agreed to the terms, albeit after a long period of awkward silence all the while trying to avoided eye contact.

"No!" Luz clenched a raised fist and took a step towards Amity, grabbing her attention. "No, I'm totally okay with this and I want to learn magic so bad. Am I a little nervous? Yes, absolutely, but if this is the price I need to pay, then so be it." Her eyes burned with a determination that Amity couldn't look away from.

'This girl is crazy.' Amity thought, taken aback by how willing Luz was for this. 'Reminds me of myself… nope, no, don't ever think that again, Amity.' she chided herself mentally. Before she could say anything in response to Luz's affirmation, the fire from Luz's eyes suddenly dimmed and the teen took on a nervous, shy demeanour.

"That being said, I… um… I've never, you know… with another girl before. Heh." Luz let out a nervous chuckle and a weak smile to try and calm herself down.

Amity closed her eyes and let out a sigh, rubbing her forehead. "Of course, you haven't. Again Luz, I'm giving you an out. I won't complain if you-" She cut herself off when she suddenly felt her hands being grabbed and pulled forward. Opening her eyes, she saw Luz's right in front of her, holding her hands ever so gently in her own and looking at her with a genuine smile. "Amity, ever since I came to the Boiling Isles, it's been a new adventure for me every day. I'm learning so much and seeing so much. I'm finding things I never thought possible. So, this?" Luz gave Amity's hands a light squeeze. "This is just another new experience to try, and I want to try."

'By the gods' Amity thought, her face turning red in an embarrassed blush. She yanked her hands away and tried to regain her composure in light of her guest's affectionate display, only to cough awkwardly into her fist. "Okay then, if you're so insistent. Upstairs, corridor on the right, second door from the left, that's my room. Head up there and we can get started. There's still a few things I need to get down here, I'll meet you up there in a minute." Amity turned away and began to head to the living room where she had some of her 'tools' laid out ready for use.

"Oh, yeah. Cool, cool, I'll meet you there." Luz smiled as she started to climb the grand staircase before pausing and turning around. "Uh, before we get started, where is your bathroom? Running all the way here on a hot day left me a bit on the, um, sweaty side. Can I clean up first, if that's alright?" She blushed in slight embarrassment. 'God, sweaty? Really, Luz? Do you want to gross out Amity? You could have worded that so much better, you're such an idiot.'

Amity paused, her back to Luz as she stood in the archway to the living room with a thoughtful look, before turning around with a perverse smirk on her lips. "Mhmm, nope, I don't think so. Straight to my room, no detours." folding her arms in satisfaction.

"Oh… um, okay." Luz said unsure, scratching the back of her head in puzzlement. She stood on the stairs staring at Amity, hovering for a moment in awkward silence before quietly turning around and heading up the staircase to her intended destination, duffel bag dragging behind her.

Amity watched her climb the stairs, her eyes drifting down to Luz's backside, watching it shake with every step. She let herself swell with pride for a moment, her smirk becoming a bit wider as she turned back to get her things from the living room. 'Oh yeah, this is gonna be fun.'
