The Owl House: Friendly Warlock Book 2

Chapter 8:

A/N: Simple, harmless family bonding.

/////

After the Noceda home was explored, as best they could, the inhabitants of the new home were back to interacting in the town they called home.

Neo: My girl, my family.

He said with a smile as he held an arm around both Luz, who giggled excitedly, and Camila, who smiled at that.

Camila: Yes we are.

She said as she pat his chest gently, and had to mentally stop herself for continuing.

Luz: So, what're we gonna do now?

Neo: Whatever you girls want.

Camila: Oh no, no need to spoil us.

She said, even if that's all he's done since meeting back up with them in his life.

Luz: Ooh Ooh, how bout the park?

She suggested in excitement at them as both hummed and looked at one another.

Neo: Sounds good.

Soon:

Neo: You know, I always felt more human being with you Camila.

He admitted, both taking a seat on a nearby bench as Luz happily ran around, getting a few stares as she did, mostly because of her appearance.

Camila: Oh? And what does that mean?

She asked while turning to him from her head's resting place against his chest.

Neo: Your world seems more fun, not to mention less painful weather.

He said, making her hum as she recalled what he said about the Boiling Isles and how common it was to have rain as hot as boiling oil.

Camila: Ooh.. yes, I recall you telling me.

She said while patting his hand.

Camila: Well it sounds like your world is interesting regardless of that fact.

Neo: Remember when I was too scared to go out in the rain?

He asked as she giggled at the memory.

Camila: Hard to forget. Where you were yelling at me "you didn't want to die when stepping out". I honestly thought you were just suffering from a traumatic experience.

She said while feeling him hug her more.

Camila: Though, given what happened, sounds right.

Neo: I remember us dancing in the rain.

He said with a nostalgic smile, making her nod and share the look.

Camila: Ah yes, I remember that was the night I knew I was truly in love with you.

She said, sitting up and smiling at him.

Camila: Where I knew I would do anything to see you again, to make our family home and that our daughter had a father.

Neo: The day you left I was actually ring shopping.

He said while leaning back more in his seat as she frowned when hearing that, her arms looped around his own to hug gently.

Camila: I'm sorry for everything.

Neo I know.

Mwah~!

He said as he kissed her cheek.

Neo: Oh look, Luz is chasing chipmunks.

He said while pointing to the side and Camila following.

FWOOSH~!!!

And immediately darted her head to follow her running daughter.

Luz: GET BACK HERE!!!

She yelled as she ran as fast as she could to grab the small rodents, who squeaked at them.

Camila: Oh dear...

Neo chuckled.

Seeing his little princess run and act like a real cat was always entertaining, even back in the Isles where she chased anything small. Now, in the human world, where she knew what was and wasn't safe, there wasn't anything holding her back.

"Whoa, look at her run!"

"Get them cat girls!"

"Whistle~! Now she's fast."

"Awesome~..."

And the teens around the park watching Luz as she ran, going for a pounce.

She held one by the tail.

"SQUEAK~!!"

Luz: Haha, gotcha!

She yelled with a smile as she held the small rodent up in victory.

"(Low Applause~!!!!)"

Her ear twitched when hearing the sounds of people cheering her on for her chase after the small creature.

Luz: O-oh, hehe, thanks~!

A/N: Told you~!
