I don't. I mean... I don't think I do. What good will him turning over a new leaf do now? The damage has already been done.
[... Ah. Maybe... she's being too harsh; Luz's eternal optimism is one reason why Amity loves her so much, after all. She can't crush that.]
It's not just Belos, though. I mean... Lilith almost got turned to stone too. If she's considered so replaceable, despite being the leader of the most powerful coven on the Isles... just how bad is the Emperor's Coven on the inside?
[Even if she worked so hard to get into the coven, her skill wouldn't be the only thing scrutinized. Would she be kicked out or arrested for hanging out with Luz? For spending time at the Owl House? Amity always thought her life would get better once she made it into the coven, but now... now she's thinking it'd be the opposite.]
.... Sorry, Luz. I didn't mean to bring down the conversation like that. Problems at home are probably the last thing you want to talk about, huh?
I don't think there's anything we can do about that guy, he's not gonna stop, whatever it is he's planning on doing.
[She destroyed the door to the human world so... her mom is safe, at least. As for Lilith, she's still kind of mad at Lilith, but she's not going to bash Lilith in front of Amity, who seems to like genuinely like her.]
Actually, I didn't think I'd have anyone to talk to about what happened back on the Boiling Isles... if anything, I feel like I'm bringing down the conversation by talking about it.
[She offers a weak grin.]
I'm glad you're here though, Amity. Even if this place is pretty crazy. We'll figure things out, like we usually do.
Weeks ago, those words would have turned Amity into a gibbering mess. But now... well. Now, she still blushes all the way to her fuzzy ears, but she doesn't fall apart like she did after the grudgby match. She just... feels warm inside. In a good way.]
I- uh-
[... Okay, she does stutter a little, but she's not making a fool of herself this time.]
... Yeah. I'm glad you're here, too. Its nice, being able to. You know. Hang out outside of school.
[And with no worries that her parents might hear that she's hanging out with a human.]
I like doing things like... like this, too. Just talking, I mean. I never really hung out with people who didn't gossip all the time.
I'd, uh. I'd really like that. Spending more time with you, that is.
[God, why is it so hard to just be NORMAL with Luz??? She never had a problem acting like a functioning with around Boscha or Skara??? Why does this crush make her feel so different?]
It's... nice, with you around. When we're not trying to beat Boscha at grudgby or fighting terrifying nightmare monsters, that is.

[Now that there's no... school. Okay, there is a school but it's like normal school and ugh.]
And I don't gossip, so you don't have to worry about that!
