See, that's what Luz needed to remember! She'd help you catch that salmon, but maybe not the cooking part: she did enough at that at home for Luca. Fish was an absolute necessity in their house.
"And the thing is, I'm just like you, Lexi, in a way. I want to help, but if people aren't going to take the help I give them, what's left to do but leave them to their own devices? You can try and make sure that they don't hurt themselves, but they can somehow make that happen all on their own."
Sometimes a place like Trench would even give them a push, while Luz just wanted to make sure that nothing this bad ever happened to Lexi.
One could only hope?
Lexi had been lucky to find Luz then- she DID think Lexi was beautiful, but it was in addition to already being smart and witty and far more complicate than people gave her credit for.
"High school can be bad for a lot of reasons. Trust me when I say? It might be a good thing that it IS the worst thing you can imagine. I can imagine worse situations because I've either lived through them or seen them through other people's eyes. You can sleep much easier not knowing some of those things, I can tell you that."
Some nightmares only needed the smallest prompt of a reminder.
Lexi would always have a weird friend in Luz. That was just a fact!
Luz sniffed. "Ok, so I'm not going to be super happy with seeing some guy's butt, which you seem to indicate is way disappointing, but if the movie is as bad as you say it is, I still might want to see it anyway!"
She could always regret it later!
"Oh, I'm adorable," Luz said with a wave of her hand, "but you're actually beautiful, and that was the thing that was making me chicken out at first. I kept thinking what right does my goofball butt have trying to talk to HER, you know? I was a little intimidated, so I had to psych myself out to go for it!"
It had been a risk, but luckily it paid off!
As for the affection, Luz was drinking in all of it. She nestled into the crook of Lexi's shoulder, her cheek resting on Lexi's cheek, and gave the softest purr.
"I kinda love shellfish though," Luz admitted. "Crabs, Lobster, mussles, clams...I could keep eating those until I'm full."
Luz made a face. "I don't think you could pay me enough to eat a fish that looks like it was fermenting in a jar."
Luz had read Charlotte's Web when she was younger and had a big cry on it.
"Your dummy, then?"
Now she was just being facecious!
"I'll just have to come up with more nicknames for you too, to make things interesting!"
See, there we go! And Ani's got the superior "32 flavors!" Alannah Miles, feh.
