Luca was about to march over to Leona and have a word about her little deception, but before he could take a single step, Luna appeared in front of him like a whirlwind.
Her eyes were practically burning with curiosity and something that looked almost like desperation.
"Luca! How did you do that?!"
He blinked, caught off guard. "Do what?"
Luna shook her head impatiently.
"My mother! How did you manage to talk to her like that? How did you get her to open up?"
Lulu, who had been happily examining her new scope, immediately perked up and bounded over.
"Yeah! How did you do that?!"
"Normally, getting her to even look your way while talking is an achievement! Me and the rest of the villagers have been struggling with that for years!"
Luna nodded vigorously as she added,
"If she even showed a hint of emotion, we'd consider it a good day. But you?!"
"You were just casually chatting with her like it was nothing! And she was laughing! Smiling! Actually showing expressions!"
