Private Finished The Weak Young One

This will show Altizica who's he dealing with.

Smokey had been studying eldritch magic for some time now. Since Altizica openly showed how little he trusted Smokey's ability to handle "forbidden knowledge" and Jude showed them where the eldritch section was in the library. And now that they managed to get some powers down, they had contacted Altizica for another session.

They had no intention to be taught anything. All they wanted to do was show Altizica the books they've been studying and rub their newfound power in his face. They could handle eldritch ability and he had to accept it. Maybe then, they could be taught stronger magic.

So when they arrived at his house, they went to knock at his door... only for their hand to fall through and get stuck in the door. Trying to pull out didn't work no matter what they did. The only bright side to this was being able to knock on the door with their other handle and use the doorbell.

"Altizica? Altizica! I'm, uh... stuck..."

The small squishy little critters they had never seen before circling their legs gave them little comfort.

When Altizica arrived, Smokey gave an excited smile at his expression. It wasn't necessarily what they wanted—praise and admiration would have been better—but this would do.

"Nah, I can... Ugh... I can get it out." After a few tries, Smokey managed to pull their hand through the door. "See? All fine. Seriously, don't worry. Everyone needs practice when they're using new powers. I wanted to show off some of what I learned to you, but keep it a secret, alright?"

Smokey scowled at the shoggoth as they followed Altizica. The critters made them wary, yes, but they were good company when they weren't causing trouble. That, and the shoggoth even coming for their critters caused them and Altizica to get into a hissing battle. One that instinctively made Smokey cover their ears. "I can't control the critters. They only like being around me.

"By the way, I didn't make a pact. I read through a bunch of books on eldritch magic and performed rituals and followed instructions. The only pact I have is—... Yeah, I wouldn't pact with eldritch."

Finally, Altizica managed to relax a bit. Still sucks that he presumed Smokey to be dumb enough to make a pact with an eldritch. He needed to stop getting strung up on so many things. Actually, maybe they needed to stop being so tense. They expected Altizica to worry about the practicing of rituals and studying of "forbidden knowledge." Those must have been the lesser of two evils.

"Nah, not now. I had a giant meal before I got here. This is your house, anyways. Shouldn't I be the one entertaining you?" They revealed a cheeky smile with widened eyes. "I want to cut straight to the point."

Smokey left out a soft sigh, but their expression hardly changed. "It's fair to worry about me. Eldritch stuff is tricky business. I don't plan on going too deep into the research, anyways. But my species is attuned to magic. We're literally made of magic. So, I'm pretty confident I can handle it. Plus, I have you to help me with any issues I face, right?"
