NOTE: I am forever backtag friendly and absolutely open to doing things from past events that won't really have an effect on things at any given time. For example, if you'd like to do something with Peter aged down or when he was his spider dream guide, etc.

she's... actually itching to get up to her desk to have a look in her runes textbook. but that means moving, getting out of bed - something she doesn't particularly want to do right now. not with her mother in the room. ]
oh. [ well that isn't an answer she's expecting? of all the things, his grandmother's mad at him because he ran away with her instead of staying? it's... troubling. ] well that's strange. i kind of want to suggest it's guilt, maybe. but she was so angry back in the forest. death can turn things into something far uglier, i suppose.
oh that's alright.
[ as for his suggestion for a distraction: ]
no. i don't have any music to listen to anyway. we don't really use anything like the small devices i've seen people here use. we use a wireless instead. a radio? and i don't actually know any Muggle music, either.
it sounds like a nice idea, though. i know it's not much because it's not something i can do now, but maybe for another time. i shall have to look into it.

[ He's still getting used to the fact that Luna is.. something else and he still doesn't entirely understand everything. Truthfully, he would usually still be frightened at this point, of something so strange and different, but...
...he can't be frightened of her. He's not afraid, even if what she speaks about does unnerve him. Somehow, he's able to separate the girl from those things. She knows about odd symbols and spells, but she's not after him. She isn't going to hurt him. ]
I think she was probably like that when she was alive, too. My mom said she was awful, growing up. She hurt mom's brother. He died because of her.
[ It's.. a heavy thing to say, but Peter is emotionless as he types it, eyes half-lidded. Even now the usual coping mechanisms are seeping in, dulling him over, numbing. His family is... a raw wound that's been ripped wide open and he has to think of them in the detached way he always has. Uncle, Mom, Grandmother.... They're kept in some packaged compartment deep inside him. ]
Muggle... what's that mean again? [ Has he heard her use the word before..? Maaaaaybe.... Peter's memory has many holes in it these days and seems to constantly be shifting. But he's making a mental note... to do something about this music situation. He won't forget. He takes a minute, finds a pen, writes it on his hand.
Luna
Music
Don't forget. ]
What kind of music did you like, back home?
no subject
i'm very sorry, Peter. that's awful to hear.
[ Luna wants to ask if she sent to prison because of that. usually hurting other people like that means they go to prison. it... seems the rational next step with that. but it's a precarious conversation topic. she doesn't think it's her place to ask, not within the confines of a text message - even if Peter was the first to say it. ]
it means someone like you, you're a Muggle. a non-magical person. it's what we call them back home. [ it's possible she's brought it up, considering. but she doesn't mind explaining it again. ]
i don't mind anything. my friend Ginny really liked the Weird Sisters. i believe they're a rock band.
no subject
I'm just glad she doesn't seem to want to come inside. [ ...But he can't be sure she won't try. Ellen's proven to be unpredictable, and after what happened in the woods... What if she decides she wants to come in and get him? Peter's no stranger to sleepless nights, so at least "watching over Grandma through the window" is something to do during them.
...And talking to Luna. Which is much, much better. ]
Do you guys get along with Muggles back home? Or are they.. considered like weird?
[ Speaking of "weird"... The Weird Sisters... That gets a little bit of a smile from him. ] Weird Sisters sounds like something we'd have here, too. There's a band called the Smashing Pumpkins. Kind of sounds like something from your world.
no subject
well at least you can get some peace from her. [ It's a small mercy, but a mercy none the less, she supposes. And at least it means one of them is getting some kind of peace. Pandora might not be doing anything to Luna like Ellen has to Peter - but her presence in her room is stifling. And she's wary of it. ]
Muggles don't really know we exist, actually. unless you're maybe married to one. or your parents are Muggles and you're magical. but they're sworn to secrecy. [ Luna thinks it's to keep both sides safe, in all honesty. ]
i quite like the sound of that. i shall have to look into them later.
