The Waterfall (PT 2)
"Woah..." Amity softly whispered, her eyes focused on the water splashing down "I've... Never seen one like this before. We have Lavafalls on the Boiling Isles but this is... Different?" Amity slowly admitted. Luz shot Amity a glance, her heart fluttered and she couldn't help but to smile. Amity looked so genuinely amazed by something so simple "Well, on earth we call these waterfalls and we have waaay bigger ones there!" Luz threw her arms out as far apart as they could get to imply that she meant they were huge. Luz decided to leave Amity to it for now as the witchling just nodded quietly. The human bounced over to the pond at the bottom of the waterfall, peering into it "It seems pretty shallow! And clean" Luz dropped to her knees to take a closer look, dipping her hand into the water, it wasn't cold like one would assume it'd be but it was lukewarm. A comfortable temperature.
Luz looked up at Amity who had walked over, standing next to the kneeling human now "We could wash our clothes here! And take a bath since we're both goopy" Luz looked down at her own clothes, standing up. She began to unbutton her uniforms collar without a care in the world. Amity quickly whipped her head away from Luz, her face was on fire and the tips of her ars a dark red hue "L-Luz, I-I don't know- I don't think that's-" A chirping noise from the pond stopped them both dead in their tracks.
Amity's eyes quickly scanned the area, her hand raised and ready to draw a spell circle if needed "What was that?"
Another chirp sounded followed by a plop "Oh. MY. GOD" Luz gasped, Amity quickly turned her attention to her crush "What?" Luz eyes were sparkling the same way they did earlier when she had seen that chicken. Luz pointed at the pond, a blue blob with sparkly black eye was floating at the surface. Amity didn't hesitate and drew a spell circle, it really took everything in her to even muster enough magic for that. She aimed at it at the strange water creature. "Amity!" Luz cried, jumping between the witchling and the Puddle slime "Don't shoot it! Its.. Just a little creature!"
Amity seemed conflicted, her eyes shifting past Luz for a second and then back to the human "Luz... It could still be dangerous" She spoke slowly, her eye now glued to the blue blob in the water that had sunk further down. "Pleaaaase? It's super adorable and It hasn't done anything!" Amity began cautiously lowering her hand, however the spell circle remained in the air. Amity sighed heavily, rolling her eyes. It was truly a miracle Luz had survived this long on the Boiling Isles "Fine, but if it does anything weird I'll blow it to bits"
Luz clapped her hands ecstatically with a gleeful smile on her face, she knew that was about as good as it'd get. She quickly turned to the pond and plopped herself down "Hi little one! I'm sorry, don't be scared" Luz reached out a hand to the Pond Slime, it seemed skeptical about the gesture though and sunk further into the water "L-Listen, I'm sorry about my friend. We're both kind of... Lost, like really really lost" Luz rubbed the back of her head with a nervous laugh "And... on edge. Do you know where we are?"
The Puddle Slime stared blankly at the human "Oh! How rude of me!" Luz quickly straightened her back to sit upright, gesturing towards herself "I'm Luz - Luz the human witch apprentice! And this is my friend-" Luz gestured towards the witchling "Amity the witch!" "Amity Blight" The green haired teen added, her voice had a cold tang to it as she stared down the poor slime. Luz was quiet for a moment "Riiight..." She nodded, looking back towards the slime "What's your name? Do you have one?"
The Puddle Slime chirped happily a few times, emerging from the water. It splashed around a little bit and looked up at Luz when it was done. "I have no idea what you're trying to say but sounds awesome! I'm gonna name you..." Luz fell silent as she thought, the slime looking at her expectantly "Squiggles!" "Squiggles?" Amity parroted from behind, Luz turned her attention to Amity and nodded with a goofy grin on her face "Come on, Amity! Lil Squiggles isn't gonna hurt you, they're very nice!"
Amity seemed to think about it for a moment, eventually dismissing her spell circle and hesitantly stepping over. She slowly sat down next to Luz who once again reached her hand out to their new child, Squiggles. The slime bapped Luz hand with the top of its head and Luz looked at it in absolute awe.
"Hey... You feel kinda squishy" The human stated, rubbing the top of the slimes head "Just like slime! Oh, hold still for a moment, Squiggles" Luz frantically dug through her bag and pulled her notebook. She flipped to an empty page and began scribbling.
"What are you drawing?" Amity softly inquired, leaning over to peer down at what Luz was doodling "Well, I figured we might be stuck here for a while since I can't use my Glyphs..." Luz finished the doodle, showing it fully to Amity "So I figured keeping notes of what we find is a good idea!" The page had a doodle of the Puddle Slime on it along with some notes such as 'Makes a bird noise' 'Lives in water' 'It's blue' and at the top of the page it read 'Water Slime'
"Water Slime?" Amity met Luz eyes "Yeah! Well, it feels like slime and its in the water" Amity raised an eyebrow "Well we need to call its species something and I don't see you coming up with any ideas!" Luz playfully nudged Amity's shoulder and the two of them shared a little laugh. Amity reached her hand out to Luz "Alright... Hand it over, you never gave me the chance to name it" Luz raised both her eyebrows and slowly handed Amity the notebook & pen.
The witchling thought for a moment before writing 'Pond Slime' under Water Slime, handing it back to Luz "How is Pond Slime any better?" Amity nodded towards the pond in front of them "It lives in a pond and the slime is hardly made out of water since it's alive and organic matter" Luz seemed to think for a moment, shrugging "Yeah that's fair"
The two teens sat in silence for a while when Luz suddenly lit up "Hey, Squiggles, so me and Amity had a rough fall a while ago and our clothes got really dirty" Luz gestured towards her clothes that were covered in dried Abomination goop and feathers "Would it be okay if we cleaned them in your pond? We don't have any other pairs with us..."
Squiggles seemed to think for a long moment, leaving them all in dead silence - besides from the sound of the waterfall. Squiggles gave a happy chirp and Luz smiled brightly "Thank you! Oh man I gotta to hug you, you're the best!"
Just as Luz was about to scoop Squiggles out of the water Amity placed a hand on her shoulder "Maybe... Its best if we leave Squiggles in the water. We don't know if it can breathe air" Luz smacked her hands over her own mouth "Oh my god you're right, I'm so sorry Squiggles! I almost hurt you!" Luz cried, gently patting the slimes head. The Puddle slime just chirped happily.
"Alright, clothes prepare to be cleaned!" The human loudly cheered as she began to undress.
Amity was quick to avert her eyes from Luz.
This was going to be a long day.
