"Ooh, that actually would be torture for me. I'm kinda bad at sitting still for a very long time. It would make me anxious and probably drive me nuts! But if it meant making sure that we didn't hurt each other, it would probably be worth it."
Luz laughed. "Hey, don't worry, it's good to ask questions! The thing about this glyph is that you don't have to practice this ON people, you can just do it outside! Now, getting the drawing right does take time, but once you have that down, you have to focus on what you want it to do, and then you have to control it. The last two come hand in hand. Once you know what you can do, you usually can guesstimate what's going to happen with it!"
Luz knew all this, as she'd been thrown headfirst into figuring out how the glyphs would work!
"I know I'm biased since you're my girlfriend, but even before then? When I first met you I was really curious about you! You were really earnest and funny and smart! So why wouldn't I want other people around you that will remind you of that? You'll be fine, I promise!"
In Luz's opinion, Lexi had gotten so accustomed to not getting equal treatment back on Earth, that she naturally just stuck to her own ways. She understood that, she just didn't want that for Lexi if she could help it. She didn't need to still feel like she was second best to her sister.
Luz WAS hard on herself, if only because that was baggage she carried from her world, along with regrets she still had from this world too. She wished there were still some things she hadn't done, things she couldn't take back. But she could still learn from them, and try to be better.
"I guess I'll have some homework then. You're so cruel."
Luz gave her a pouty, wide eyed look to let Lexi know she was joking. Mostly.
"It sure is! Rodents are too despised, in my opinion. They're just as sweet as cats and dogs!"
Luz nodded. "Even theoretical math can be pretty weird in Trench!"
They were nerds together! That was all that mattered!
Luz raised her eyebrow. "I didn't even THINK of that. Maybe I will!"
And here Luz gave her a wink. I know. I'm working at half capacity. Got to have the upper hand somehow. Why not with a girl more than worthy to be my botón de oro?"
"Past the Mission!" A great song AND video!
Luz laughed. "Hey, don't worry, it's good to ask questions! The thing about this glyph is that you don't have to practice this ON people, you can just do it outside!
