"It's all too much to begin with!" Luz protested, laughing. "I'm...well, I'm on the spectrum. So it would be something that would really grate on me. Of course, then there was the whole thing with the cannibals almost two years ago, so sticking me in a cave would also be pretty bad."
What Luz is trying to say is that trauma and being pent up could sometimes go hand in hand.
"If you do that, it just won't work! I mean, if it gets close enough but is wrong, it'll be kinda bad, but for the most part, it'll just stay there. Just make sure you make the circle wide enough and concentrate, you'll be able to do it! Start slow, and then work your way up."
Wait a minute. "'Last time?'"
Luz shrugged. "You were still learning about all of that, I can't blame you. What you were just learning about, we knew if we were Deerington people. That was my first death though, and you just happened to be there with your sweet, sarcastic self. I didn't know it at the time, but you were just the person I needed to hear from. Might be why I was so curious about you after that."
Luz was still working on Lexi finding her self-worth. Luz might have problems finding it for herself, but she was definitely not going to let Lexi sell herself short, especially not when she was such a great person herself.
It had taken time. Luz made plenty of mistakes, and reminding herself that A) People were always going to be different from her and B) she still had a lot of learning to do.
"Exactly! I'm honestly very responsive to that kind of learning, so I wound up doing pretty well with glyphs!"
That was so mean, Lexi.
"Exactly! And they're so sweet too! Anyone who tests cosmetics on them should be punished severely! Did I ever mention I love all animals?"
Even bugs. Yes, that was how Luz was.
"You didn't tell me that!" Luz sounded indignant. "You let me handle those guys! I'll make sure that they're not overcharging us...as much as you can overcharge people through barter, anyway."
Of course!
"I don't...I mean, they're in the ocean, how would they even eat bugs? Look, I promise that I'll look up what squids eat and make sure that you're taken care of, promise!"
Luz meant every word. That's just how she was.
"Heh, close! I, uh, actually called you my buttercup."
Ooh, nice! "Happy Workers" is very underrated!

She was blushing. "Because you are."
