Ok but this Cleo/El/Scott Coven is actually the most adorable thing. Cleo and El’s little practice session is legitimately like straight out of a movie training montage. Cleo teaching her hex casting. The way Cleo is legitimately SO excited when El masters her first explosion. El being nervous and overwhelmed when Cleo shows her the symbol for an artifact, and Cleo just being like don’t worry I’ll talk you through it. Cleo using her own amethyst shards to help charge her artifact. The cut at the end of the montage in Eloise’s episode that shows how she’s COMPLETELY demolished the training room from her advanced explosion spells. El giving Cleo a clock as a present to say thank you for helping her, and Cleo promising to help her more in the future if she ever needs anything.
And then Scott. Scott poking fun at her but also actually being really helpful in his own way? Him asking if he can curse her to test out a spell he hasn’t used before because he wants to have a bit of a laugh, only for him to remove it the second she says it’s too much for her and then promising to teach it to her as well. Him watching her trial, whispering pointers to her as she’s getting ready for the final fight. Bertha inviting Scott to their special school of magic, stating that it was only for the strongest witches on the server, and Scott immediately listing Eloise alongside himself, Shelby, and Cleo as the strongest members of the server, and when Bertha laughs he IMMEDIATELY defends her like “Eloise is stronger now.” And when Bertha just keeps laughing he goes “she just won her tournament, don’t laugh about that.”
The little outfit montage in the middle where Cleo and Scott help her pick out some armour.
El winning the retrial and Bertha congratulating her, trying to give her a speech about how proud they are of her and how much she deserved it, and El just straight up ignoring them, running away mid speech to check on her last opponent, asking if they were ok and going “I’m sorry, I didn’t give you a chance to breathe, but I really wanted to do Scott and Cleo proud.”
IT’S THE FOUND FAMILY VIBES, OK?!
