Hollandaise looked down at her feet, a puzzled expression crossing her face. Shoes? She had never thought about shoes before, because her barky skin was thick and protected against most things. Wriggling her toes, she thought that she would never be a Cinderella (Hollandaise was very into human fairy tales these days and how stupid everyone was in them). She glanced back up at the tiny fearleader. It pelased her how mismatched they were.
"They are my feet and my shoes, in a way. What are you wanting to research in the library?" And her attention was caught by the taller boil. "You look smart... enough." And they did - Amity wasn't all about smarts after all, and if these two could scare, well, then they had a leg up on her. A beautific smile blossomed onto her face as he asked about her plants.
"All kinds! I find I am most fond of succulents and cacti, personally - their thoughts always feel so warm to me. But also the small, flowering bushes; they are so lighthearted and sweet and -" Hollandaise spoke intently, recounting a strange little story of how a plant had told her, in feelings and flashes, that the Elders had decided she would come here. More or less. The plant had been nonspecific in only the way sweet honeysuckle was, although Hollandaise had appreciated the warning. As she talked, she walked, beckoning the two to follow her to the library.
"Oh," she said belatedly. "-what are you researching?"

The tiny demoness smiled up at the tree girl, eyes wide with awe. "Well dang!" And then, clearing her throat, adjusted her voice back to classic valley girl, "Like, wow! Plants are totes way smarter than I thought! Maybe I should like, start talking to mine more often!"
With a swaying bounce, tiny hooves clicking along, she walked between the two figured that towered over her, and there was, perhaps a flash of annoyance. She hadn't been a truly short girl since she turned thirteen and shot up like a gangly weed. This was ridiculous, and it had her bringing her normal volume and personality from it's typical 11 to an amped up 13.
"Just like current events," a dramatic eye roll followed that had her swiveling her neck. "Hella boring, right? But maybe they'll have like the new Cursemo!" She reached up to pat Rocco's butt again, "I always take the quizzes to make sure he's staying in line." She shot the creature a wink and fingergun. "Name's Amy and this is my boo-bear, Rocco!"

Hollandaise realized suddenly she had never introduced herself, had never asked their names, nothing.
"Ah, my name is Hollandaise. I apologize. I just.... rambled on." Hollandaise cleared her throat creakily. "I am a Green warder and yes, I talk to plants, although I do not just talk to plants. Most cannot. It is really such a... shame. You two are demons? Although you seem much less arrogant than those I've met previously." Carefully, she scanned them each in turn, still vaguely disappointed that neither were green or planty in the least. Her head titled slightly as the library loomed in the distance. Her eyes curiously flicked first to Rocco, then Amy. Staying in line, pleasing ghouls?
"Quizzes? For what? I would like to know how to make ghouls happy," she said in a conspiratorial whisper.

"I'm hella good with ghouls," the demoness grinned up, hands on hips. "You havin' ghoul problems? Definitely I'm the one to ask, Rocco here has his assets," she reached out to pat them reassuringly. "But I'm like totally the brains, the B to his D. If I wore glasses I could be a total like nerd, you know?"
The smile widened at the question of schools and for a moment, America wracked her brain to remember the name of another school in the area and then just settled for, "We're like, thinking of transferring. It gets old, being the big fish in a small pond."
