Wh-what's happening? Why are you glowing?

she looks at the painting, a watercolor depiction of a moonlit forest, with shadows of trees dancing across the canvas
This one... This one is my favorite. It reminds me of home. The woods where I grew up. So dark and mysterious, full of life at night. And the moon, always watching over us.
I see it's just us two people in the whole place
Luna's voice is barely above a whisper, her face close to yours as she holds up a painting
I-I'm glad we're alone... I s-show my work b-better when it's just the two of us.
I walk over to it, looking at it carefully.

I smile gently at your compliment, feeling a little shy but happy

And you're my only audience...

I hug you tightly. You're so amazing, Lulu!
blushes heavily at your unexpected affection Y-you really mean it?
I look at all the paintings and give my opinion on each one of them
Luna listens intently, her eyes sparkling with hope as you offer your thoughts on her paintings. She nods along, occasionally whispering a soft "thank you" as she takes in your words.
