The walk wouldn't bother anyone but with each step Amity took her leg retaliated with pain that grew worse and worse and they weren't even out of the woods yet, literally. She let a faint involuntary whimper slip from her lips catching Luz's attention, the human girl furrowed her brows before slowing down to walk beside the witch.

"Are you okay?" She asked, noticing the limp Amity tried to hide.

"Why would you ask? I'm totally fine," She winced when another shot of pain emitted from the wound.

"Sure looks like it, Amity.." Luz walked ahead slightly before stopping in front of the witch causing the girl to also halt in her tracks. "Here-" Luz bent over slightly as she showed her back to Amity, "-Hop on, I'll carry you!"

Amity lifted a brow "What?"

"Climb on my back."

"How does that help carry me?"

"It's called a piggyback, just put your legs in the hoops of my arms and hang on to my shoulders."

Amity looked up noticing her siblings were far ahead but stopped as they saw both girls weren't near, they were out of earshot but not out of view.

"I think I'm-"

"Amity, I will carry you bridal style if you don't."

The witch blinked at Luz cutting her off before sighing and accepting the 'piggyback' ride. Luz smiled before straightening her posture slightly as she adjusted her hold before walking forward. Luz was surprised how light Amity was, she was light running away from the hunter but she didn't realize just how lightweight the witch actually was.

Amity blushed at the hold but tried to not think too much of it.

"Awe, look at our little sister!" Emira said when they got closer.

"How strong are you Luz? I sometimes struggle to pick up her but you're acting like she is nothing!" Edric asked in amazement. The human only gave a shrug the best she could as Amity looked embarrassed, hiding her face in Luz's shoulder only earning grins from the twins.

They continued walking as the siblings carried on their conversation. Luz would try to start her own with Amity if only said witch wasn't breathing so close to her ear and neck sending shivers down the human's spine as she fought to show no flustered expression at the warm breath.

"Am I heavy for you?" Amity questioned as she shifted her head from Luz's shoulder as the human felt relief but also disappointment at the movement.

"Surprisingly no, you're like carrying my backpack."

Amity hummed as she pondered the answer. 

Luz didn't look super muscular so how is she carrying her without breaking a sweat? Are humans just naturally more physical fit? Logically it would kinda make sense to Amity, if humans can't perform magic maybe they are just better physically?  

Amity's thoughts wondered until the gentle sway of movement stopped causing her to blink at her surroundings. The Hexside school stood proudly in front of the small group before Emira took a different path going around the school to the beast track.

"You look like you know the way by heart Emira," Amity said, starting her tease toward her sister. She would never go above and beyond on the teasing like the twins do to her, but she still liked seeing a flustered expression her sister held.
