Luz was just happy knowing she made enough of a difference in Lexi's life that she could help her with some of her baggage. Likewise, Luz was slowly learning to pull back a little on the adventuring whenever she thought of what it would do to Lexi if she got hurt.
There wasn't even a debate here. Luz would have Lexi's back, and should it come to it, she would have happily died in Lexi's embrace. Lexi's beautiful face would be the last memory she's want before turning into a squid.
Luz had never understood how old married couples were looked down upon, especially when divorce seemed to be so common these days. With Lexi, every day felt like some new adventure in learning more about her. She never had a dull day with her in it.
"Exactly! You think that'd be more of an eighties thing, but I guess it carried over for some time, probably because they were still scared about what other people would think. So everything about being gay had to center AROUND a character, and actually make us more than one dimensional."
Which Luz was glad they had moved on from. Mostly.
Luz would absolutely do that now.
"And look at you, Lexi! Doing magic now, being a powerhouse all your own! Are you kidding?! You already had the confidence, now you have the strength right along with it!"
Luz nodded eagerly. Even Eda and King would have regaled Lexi with stories of Luz's foray into puns.
Luz would have argued that Lewis had NO problem with princesses being desirable and pretty, so long as they stayed within those confines of being meek and dutiful. Only if they scruffy and "fought as well as a boy" could they be allowed to act outside of their sex roles.
"I feel exactly the same way," Luz said. "I mean, I just said it, but still. A part of me still feels like it's too good to be true. That I found someone in this crazy place who loves me and wants to take care of me for me!"
And now Luz is red and beaming from ear to ear, holding her girlfriend close.
"Good! Pretty soon you'll have all of them down, and you'll always know what I'm calling you.
Well that's what you get for pushing Christian allegory over actual character development!
