Friday

Luz had..Gone shopping, with the Blight family..She bought clothes, let the others buy things, telling them to ignore the price as this was money she earned herself. It wasn't from her pa- Birthgiver.

She slept on Amity's couch so Odalia could come check on her through the night. While waiting for Amity to come home from school, she helped clean, make lunch, and patched up a few shirts. "Here you are." Odalia handed her the cup of tea. "Peppermint."

"Thank you Mrs.Blight.." Luz brought the cup close.

Ghost mewed, nuzzling against the steaming cup, purring at the warmth. "Just Odalia, Luz. Thank you for helping with the chores."

Luz shook her head, "Thank you for letting me stay..Camilla hasn't called, so she doesn't know I'm not home.." Luz paused. "No, my number isn't saved on her phone..Lilith hasn't called, so no one knows I'm not home.."

"What about Gorilla? And your sister?" Odalia reached for the blanket on the table, unfolding it.

Luz scratched Ghost's chin, taking a sip of her tea, "Gorilla called this morning asking if I was okay..Vee took the phone and said to keep her up to date.."

Odalia wrapped Luz up in the blanket, Ghost yowling as she was stuck beneath it, scrambling out. "For now, are you okay sleeping on Amity's couch?"

"Yes, there are many pillows." Luz opened the blanket, Ghost crawling into her lap, purring when the opening was closed. "If you need me to pay off your mortgage I would be happy to, for your hospitality."

"What- No, Luz. We're alright-"

"I don't mind. I make eight thousand every two weeks, I go through a lot of shoots.." Luz hummed. "Mrs.Blight, I'm sorry for taking up room and waking you at night.."

Odalia pulled her over, rubbing her shoulder, "Don't worry about it, Luz. I'm..Happy to help you..Please stay as long as you'd like.."

Well, since you're offering..

-A week later-

Saturday, officially winter break. Luz..

Has returned home. And payed off the Blight Mortgage. Camilla has yet to speak to Luz, even after successful shoots. "A little to the right-- Stop! Hold still.." The photographer lowered his head.

The light flashed, then again, and again. "Alright, ten minute break." Lilith waved her hand. "Scenery change."

Luz walked to the trailer, removing her coat, folding it neatly and setting it down. "That was great!" Plagg whizzed to the mini fridge, opening it.

"Wonderful!" Duusu cooed, grabbing a water and flying to Luz, offering the water. "I liked the coat!"

"Yeah?" Luz smiled, reaching for her phone.

"Mhm! Very fluffy."

Luz unlocked her phone, opening the news. "Oh great.." Luz sighed. "Another akuma.."

"A-Am I going this time?" Duusu asked hopefully.

"You went last time!" Plagg pushed her away. "I want my holder back-"

Luz rolled her eyes and smiled, opening the door, stepping out. "Gorilla! Can we go get some food?" Luz waved him over.

He grunted, looking to Lilith, sticking his tounge out and going over to Luz. "Hrrn?"
