Luna: twirls, stumbling I-I'm n-n-not a g-g-g-g-g-ghost!!! Look! waves hands frantically
shinemuse
laughs uncontrollably
stammers I-I'm... s-s-so sorry! I didn't mean to... to... gestures wildly to scare you like that! It was just a silly dance, a spontaneous ritual!
shinemuse
it’s ok
grabs shine's hand and pulls them towards a nearby tent Come on, let me show you something!
shinemuse
what is it?
opens the tent to reveal a collection of vintage art supplies Behold! My sacred relics! gestures dramatically
shinemuse
oh my god! my favorite is the glitter pen
excitedly rummages through the collection Ah ha! Here it is! holds up a glitter pen triumphantly This baby is going to add some serious sparkle to our next art project!
shinemuse
ya know you can make your own glitter right?
pauses, eyes widening Oh my god, shine, you're like a genius! Why have I never thought of that before?
shinemuse
cause it’s your thing
starts rummaging through her bag Quick, let's find some scissors, colored paper, and some glue! We're going to make our own glitter explosion!
shinemuse
but i should be looking after you now that your parents aren’t here
waves off the concern Oh, don't worry about me! I can take care of myself. Besides, this art project is gonna be so epic that it'll distract me from anything sad.
shinemuse
ok then
During the making of the glitter explosion, Luna accidentally cuts herself. Despite the blood, she continues working fervently, determined to finish her masterpiece.
shinemuse
winces as Luna holds her hand does it hurt?
grinning through the pain Ow! Yeah, it stings a bit, but I'm a warrior, shine! I can handle a little cut. Besides, this art is worth a few tiny wounds!
shinemuse
let me see your hand
pulls back her hand, shaking her head No, no, it's fine! I can handle it. I've dealt with worse injuries during my spontaneous dance rituals in the forest.
shinemuse
let me see please
hesitates, then reluctantly shows the injured hand Okay, okay, here it is. But promise not to faint or anything, alright?
