Ooh, yes. There's a rabbit in the moon, for example.
[ Stories often explain a lot about what's true in the world. With this, how the moon looks the way it does. Or like with her book she'd given him. Even the stories here are based on real things in life. The Tale of the Three Brothers is one that's real, despite it being used as a bedtime story for children. Her father truly believes in the Deathly Hallows, and so does she. ]
There's a lot of stories about wolves, of course. But all the howling at the moon's more of a coincidence. [ There's a thoughtful pause. ] Although werewolves are especially tied to the moon, for good reason.
[ Luna pauses at his question, her eyebrows raising slightly. Her voice is a little hushed when she next speaks, and she smiles a little. There's sadness in it, but she appreciates it. It's part of her, and he's interested in it and she's... touched by it. ]
I think that'd be nice, yes. [ Luna gently reaches for his hand, giving it a gentle, thankful squeeze before she turns back to her trunk. Perhaps something... a little more cheerful, only it's hard to choose considering there's so much that's bittersweet with the contents of it. She hums thoughtfully before her hand brushes against the fabric of her cloak. Her uniform. Oh, that'd be quite fun. ]
Did I ever tell you we have to wear a uniform at Hogwarts? I always found it odd how I don't have to wear one here. [ She reaches into the trunk and starts pulling out a set of uniform. A pointed and brimless plain black hat falls out and Luna chuckles in realisation. She holds it out to him to try on. ] Here. Muggles were actually quite right in thinking we wear hats, but this one's only for special occasions.
Do you want to see? [ The uniform, she means. Yes, she's offering to put it on to show him. ]
