She had some tea and cookies on the table in her room, backdropped with posters of witches, some of Luz's own artwork of her departed girlfriend along with her own impressions of Kaisou. There was an easel in the corner of the room, and her Pokemon balls were in the corner, set on soft pillows, alongside one more pillow with a carved egg.

In the middle of the room, though, was what they'd be working with: a laptop, several mussed booklets and sketches of the presentation Luz was starting to put together. When she heard the knock on Casita, she immediately rose up from where she was sitting.

"I got it, guys!"

"Meow? I would ne-furr," they replied, maintaining the deadpan, but starting to crack a smile as the pun feedback loop continued.

"Yeah. I got that impression from the others I talked to when it happened. One of the other kids was the first to offer me advise and he'd had a time of it with them." They wondered if Luz meant the same person, and either way, if he was okay.

"No ah, more like how we're humanoids? he basically... looked like a transformed werecat all the time I suppose is the simplest way to put it."

"Purrhaps, purrhaps not!" Luz was absolutely not going to let that go easily!

"I didn't get super impacted by them the first time, but this time I had two situations with those Fae, and one of those was about getting away from them. If we'd been caught, well. I don't think it would have been a good time for either of us."

This was especially true when they had kidnapped Danny in the first place.

"Oh. RIGHT. Makes sense, now that I think about it. But that's something to take into account. He'll probably just need to remember that no one likes to be singled out because they look different. I made a mistake with a friend months ago, by thinking they were ONE way and that what they are is more complicated. I wound up insulting them, and I had to realize that and apologize later. You just have to keep an open mind and remember we all just want to be understood."

Luz couldn't help but relate to that in another way.

[cheep_soongbird_knockoff]

"Well... I suppose it's pawsible."

"I'm glad you didn't get caught then," they replied with some concern.

Rren smiled then and gave a nod. "I think we have enough to start at least. I mean, I am certainly glad this guy is trying to understand. That says a lot, honestly." They didn't pry what Luz was talking about, the fact that she understood could only help the presentation they planned on giving. "And if he has any specific questions while we're there I can look it up without it being obvious."

A pause. "So how many of those symbol things have you worked into this presentation, by the by?"

[a_cute_batata]

"Pawsitively!"

Ok, ok, just one more, she swears.

"Invisibility spells are SUPER useful so long as you know how to hold your breath. Luckily, he didn't even need to do that! He could go invisible on his own!"

"Right. True! He's far from a lost cause. We can do a lot with an open mind, we just have to show them how different things are."

Luz reddened a little. "Well. That part I'm going to have to do in person. I'll probably incorporate some light tricks for the presentation. If I have to be more interactive than that, well. I'll improvise!"

[cheep_soongbird_knockoff]

If they hadn't started repeating words to cat pun, Rren would have kept it going, but given that, they shifted focus onwards. "Huh. Invisibility does sound useful. I can't do that but I can teleport. Kind of. Not really. I am bad at it."

Rren smirked somewhat, shaking their head. "I mean, I guessed it would have to be done in person, I was just curious if you planned to use some. I know a little flash goes a long way."

[a_cute_batata]

They were going to have to stop eventually!

"It's not as easy to do as people make out. At least, mine isn't. You still have to cast it and you have to hold your breath. If anything, it's more like you're getting gasps of invisibility. It's still super useful though."

Luckily, Luz was very good at holding her breath.

"Oh,of course! People love a little flash, so why not dazzle them? This way, the message is much easier to digest, and makes it stick out in their head!"

[cheep_soongbird_knockoff]

"I feel like magic in general is just pretty hard. At least while you're getting used to it. I have some things I can kind of do like I plan. But most of it is ah... unpredictable."

Rren didn't grin widely, but it took everything in their power to keep their straight face. Mostly because half of their pun delivery was the deadpan. "Sounds like a plan, you can de-light him with your showmanship and I'll keep my head in the cloud in case he has questions we weren't ready for." Of course, the second pun made the most sense if you knew Rren's main form of magic, but...

[a_cute_batata]

"Unpredictable? Ooh, now you have my attention! Saving that for a surprise?"

Luz could respect that. There was still a lot she didn't know about Rren, and didn't mind finding out a little later.

"Heh, nice one again! You are on fire! I'll help brighten our presentation and dazzle him when I need to!"

The cloud thing made Luz think of electronics, because of course teenagers thought of THE cloud first and foremost.
