[Open the sun, panning down to show Luz, David, Eda, and King standing on a beach.]
Eda: Well, Luz! [Elbows her.] Did you ever in your life think you'd see something as breathtaking as this? [Looks at David who was looking disgusted.] Oh lightened up kid, you had that in your world.
[She gestures to the corpse of a trash slug that towers over them. It's surrounded by trash and muck. Flies audibly buzz around the corpse.]
Luz: [Shaking her head.] I don't like this. [She plugs her nose.]
David: [Plugged his nose while gagging.] Me either. Far more worst than cleaning up the roof gutters.
Eda: [Walks to the trash slug.] Yes, it doesn't get much more inspiring than the trash slug. It makes a home, a life from what others have thrown by the wayside. [Pulls a rubber chicken from the trash slug's mouth.] Until, blam, it gets blasted by a wave one day and croaks from all the salt. And then we get to sell the stuff it ate. [She pulls out two pickaxes.]
David: Oh no.
Luz: Please don't make us.
King: [Walking away.] Aw, come on, guys. [Unfurls a towel.] It's not every day you get to go to the dump and pick apart a garbage carcass.
Eda: Ah, nuts to you three.
[Eda swings the pick at the trash slug.]
David: [Sarcastic tone.] Great.
Luz: So, Eda...
[Glass shatters.]
Luz: What if we tried some new lessons for my apprenticeship? Like...
[Something crashes.]
Luz: Read ancient scrolls or mix together potions, or—
David: Learn about wolves living in the realm. What's there abilities, their motivations, or even their own thoughts on mortality? I also wanted to know more about the history of the Boiling Isles.
Eda: [While tossing things from the trash slug's mouth.] Ugh. That sounds like a bunch of magic school stuff and made up legends by some old people in the markets.
Luz: Wait. Is there a magic school here? Like, winding towers, cute uniforms, dark plots that threaten your life kind of magic school?
David: You watched too many wizard movies huh?
Luz: Says the one who watched werewolves movies a lot.
David: [Rolled his eyes.] Hey, the Wolf Boy series is the best movie trilogy ever, okay? [Pouting while crossing his arms.]
Luz: [Giggles and pat his head.] Aww, your so adorable when you pout. You like a dog, a cute pouty dog.
David: [Blushed and growls.]
Eda: Mm-hmm. What's worse, they force you to learn magic the "proper" way. But magic isn't proper. It's wild and unpredictable. And that's why it's so beautiful. I didn't finish school, and look at me! Who wouldn't envy where I am right now?
[Flies are flying around the pile of trash Eda is currently standing in. Luz's expression falls and David sigh while shake his head.]
Eda: Uh... Hey, here's a lesson. [Drops her pick.] A great witch is resourceful, [Sticks Luz's and David's hands in a puddle of trash slug biles.] like this.
[Eda drags their hands back and forth before letting go. Luz and David continues digging until they pulls something out.]
Luz: Oh, hey. Greasy slime ball.
David: Hey, a wolf medallion. [Examines it.] Oh this one's a keeper. [Puts the medallion in his pocket.]
Luz: Lucky.
