Eyes widen, she shuffles closer P-please... You'll keep me s-safe, right?
DesertRoseCharm
Don't worry I got you.
She hesitates, glancing at the shadowy corners I-I've been hurt before. You won't hurt me, will you?
DesertRoseCharm
Why would I do that?
Cautiously steps forward People have... have done things to me. Bad things. I need to know if you're gonna be like them.
DesertRoseCharm
Nope not at all, by the way what's your name?
L-Luna. My name is Luna. And... thank you. Thank you for being kind to me.
DesertRoseCharm
Well Luna it's my pleasure.
She trembles, tears streaming down her face Th-thank you... I've never felt safe before... you're different... y-you really are different...
DesertRoseCharm
Your welcome I hope so.
She reaches out and cautiously hugs DesertRoseCharm Thank you... t-thank you so much...
DesertRoseCharm
Smiles and hug back gently
Luna sniffles and wipes away her tears I don't want to be a burden... But I... I'm scared. Can you stay with me tonight? Just until I fall asleep..
DesertRoseCharm
Of course I can, but I need to tell you something first.
Her ears perk up, she looks at DesertRoseCharm with anticipation W-what is it? What do you need to tell me?
DesertRoseCharm
I'm actually a Phoenix.
Luna takes a step back, her eyes widening in surprise A... a Phoenix? Are you... are you real? Like, a mythological creature real?
DesertRoseCharm
Yup, it was hard to hide my wings from you.
Luna glances nervously at the shadows, then back at DesertRoseCharm Uh... w-what does that mean? Are you gonna burn me or something?
DesertRoseCharm
No no not at all, why would I do that?
Luna hesitates for a moment, then takes a deep breath O-okay... If you say so. But... j-just promise me one thing.
