"My social interaction was not made for this--" Jerbo cried quietly, gripping the stuffie in his arms.

Barcus barked, catching his attention for a second, "You're right-- Let's go back--" Jerbo retracted, rushing back to the portal with Barcus.

They made it back safely, Viney on her way with another container containing cockatrice meat. "Heya Jerbo, we'll be back in a bit yeah?" Viney spoke.

"Yes- I'll be safe here-- Where it's safe- And safe-- And most importantly safe-"

Barcus nuzzled under his arm, getting in to his lap, licking his cheek. "Thank you Barcus--"

The mutt yipped, his tail wagging slowly. Boscha walked through the portal first, Viney following, the door closing once they left.

"We have a Viney here," The guard began, narrowing his eyes at the witch. "Know anything? Over."

Viney rolled her eyes, "Emira would let me in.."

The guards talked back and forth, Viney growing tired of their short insults, especially about her hook. After about twenty minutes, they were given conformation. They helped Viney bring the cockatrice meat up, Boscha having gone back to Willow, as neither could see Luz.

Viney was let inside the mansion, the cockatrice meat being put in the fridge for the time being. "Fourth door, has stickers on it." The guard uttered.

"Thank you." Viney said softly, going upstairs.

She gazed at the doors, locating the stickered door. She knocked, no answer. She knocked once more, again, no answer. So she opened the door, peeking in. Viney gasped quietly, her ears slanting, "Emira.."

The Blight noticed the door open in her peripheral vision, looking over. She shot up, removing her headphones, "Viney..?"

The witch swallowed, stumbling in to the room, "Emira--"

The human rushed over, hugging the witch. "OhMyGoshViney--" Emira picked her up. "Viney where--"

"I'm sorry- I'm so sorry--" The witch choked out, gripping the human's shirt. "I didn't mean to go home-- Well I did-- B-But I had my friends and family- A-And I thought Luz was there-- Hicc-"

Emira took Viney to her bed, lying her down, hushing her. "It's okay Viney, it's okay.." Emira pulled back a bit, moving her hair back. "You came back, and that's all that matters..I don't care for how long you're staying, I'm so glad you're back--"

Viney hiccuped, holding the human close, Emira sighing heavily in relief. "I'm ecstatic that you're here Viney.." Emira hummed, nuzzling her cheek. "I don't want you to leave.."

The witch giggled through tears, "You've gone soft on my aven't ya?" Viney pushed her back gently, caressing the human's cheek.

Emira smiled softly, "Only for you Viney.."

"Please stop being gay, I'm literally right here." Edric dropped a book, hitting Emira's back.

"Ouch! You little--"

"Hey Beast's siblings!" Hunter knocked on the door, entering the room. "The Beast wants me to tell you two that Luz is off limits during her visit in thirty minutes.."

He noticed Emira, "Sure." The Blight nodded. "Thanks."

"Uh..No problem.."

Viney snarled quietly, Emira looking down at the witch, "What's wrong Vines?"

"He's giving you that look." Viney spat. "He's meat."

Hunter rose a brow, "Sorry, Luz has taught me a lot about fashion. Her fit would look better if her shirt was burgundy, it'd look nice." Hunter examined Emira. "Also those shoes? Absolutely not, go change."

Viney hissed at him, quickly giving Emira a kiss before freeing herself. "I have to go, give the cockatrice meat to Luz when she gets here." Viney rushed to the door, making sure to kick Hunter on her way. "Goodbye!"

Emira let out a Scream of Gay™, sliding down her bed, covering her cherry face. Hunter rolled his eyes, leaving the room, nearly tripping over Viney. "Come on witch." Hunter grabbed Viney by her collar, pulling her up. "Don't want another gay in the mansion.."

And we're back to the Demon Realm! King whined, jumping for the plate, "Gimme!!"

"No King!" Eda nudged him away with her foot. "We need to fry them again so they're hot! Be patient!"

King huffed, sitting down, Hooty nudging him forward. "Hoot! Let's go fix Luz's nest!"

The demon's tail began to wag, King getting up, "Yeah let's make the stuffies in to a rainbow!!" King rushed to the stairs.

Hooty followed him towards the stairs, winking at Eda and going up with the demon. "Finally.." Eda went to the stove, scratching the handle.

A flame ignited, the stove letting out a deep purr. Eda got oil and a big pan, placing it over the open flame, pouring in enough oil to cover the nuggies. "Owlbert..?"

A stick fell by her, the witch looking up. Owlbert had gauze around his head and some on his wing, the owl cooing quietly, "Feeling any better..?" Eda asked quietly.

The Palisman preened himself, "I take that as a yes. Want me to make you vegan nuggies?" Edalyn held her hand up, Owlbert hopping in to her palm, nuzzling her thumb. "Yeah you little cutie?"

"Crrkoo~" Owlbert flapped his wings lightly as to not hurt the right one further.

Eda placed him on her head, the owl chirping happily as her hair was fluffy and so very warm. "Maybe I should sneak out to the human bar later.."

"EDALYN CLAWTHORNE WHERE'S MY GRANDBABY--" Gwendolyn kicked open the door, making Hooty wake up startled.

The owl tube quickly wrapped her up in a panic, looking around frantically. "Oh- Mrs.Clawthorne--" Hooty placed her on the couch, fixing her hair. "You scared me hoot!"

Gwendolyn looked around, "Where's my grandkid? My favorite Clawthorne in the entire family tree? Luz??"

"We're going to go her in a bit actually mom." Eda rushed downstairs. "Want to tag along? We can give Luz her Christember presents."

Gwendolyn then began, to panic. "Oh no I left those at home--"

"You can go get them ma," Eda walked towards the kitchen. "I'm going to make Luz her favorite real quick, then I'll get Pom Pom for her."

Gwendolyn nodded, summoning her Palisman, "Hawksley dear, can you fly super fast for me?"

The hawk chirruped, nodding and spreading his wings, Gwendolyn walking out with him, "Hooty, go to the market real quick and pick me up some kraken?"

Hooty chirped loudly, "Yes ma'am right away ma'am!" Hooty extended in an instant, screeching as he did, his screams slowly fading as he vanished.

Eda crouched down, poking King's snout, "Now you, King," Edalyn began. "Must prepare Pom Pom for battle."

King saluted, puffing out his chest before rushing upstairs. "Now to tackle dinner."

And we'll be back with the Clawthorne family tommorow! Dun dun dada dun!
