Cole and an oddly berserk Isaac are fighting in the front yard as Luna and Aurora head outside to watch. Chris had run outside for fresh air earlier, but passed out from vertigo in the front yard. Aurora goes up to Cole to assist.
"You need a straitjacket or something, Mr. Cole?" Aurora offers.
"Oh my god you really are his sister." Luna chuckles.
He is unable to break free. "No, I'd rather not subject Isaac to that."
Cole forces Isaac to move forward. Isaac tries to fight it off but is unable to. They walk back inside the house.
"What did you say, miss? About me being his sister?" Aurora asks Luna.
"Oh no no, it's just Chris has offered straitjackets before. So it just made me chuckle. It's cute honestly." Luna smiles
"Oh he did?" She looks surprised.
"Mhm, and by the way, you can just call me Luna if you wish. No need for formalities."
"Alright... Luna. And the reason why is that it's kind of necessary in the family."
"You mean the straitjackets?" Luna tilts her head.
"Yeah. 'cause you use your hands to direct your emotions. If things go too far, lots of things goes wrong, and we cannot, like, afford that, if you catch my drift." Aurora explains
Luna nods. "I think I understand. It could cause a domino effect that affects way more than just your family."
"Exactly. Also the fact that each emotion roughly corresponds to an element, but that's another thing altogether, and it's rare to harness emotions to that degree."
"Ahhhhh... no wonder. That's really fascinating Aurora. Seems magic can vary between people and Worlds entirely." Luna smiles warmly
Aurora nods. "What about you, Luna? You have experience with powers?"
Luna nods, "yup, I have a few different forms of magic depending on what form I'm in. In my cat form, I have telekinetic and psychic powers. And when I'm in my humanized form, I have elemental magic."
"Oh I see. So you can do this?" Aurora waves her hand, and a flame flickers out of thin air.
Luna grins and a light engulfs her for a split second. It fades and she becomes a human with cat ears and a tail wearing a Cirno cosplay, her magical girl form. She blinks and flames engulf her hand. "Doesn't hurt either."
"Nice!" She snaps, and the flame dies. "Do you do snow, by any chance?"
"I do actually." The fire disappears as Luna pulls out her onyx broadsword, which appears to have frost eminating off of it. She points it at the sky and snow floats down on them. "Ice magic."
Aurora watches in awe as the snow floats down.
"My issue is I have no idea how to use my powers well in combat. So for the most part, I just mess around with my magic and have fun with it."
Aurora nods. "It's hard to use under duress, yeah. But that's why we carry weapons, no?"
"Mhm. Most of the time, I just augment my sword with magic and hope it's the enemy's weakness." she chuckles
Aurora smiles and takes out a butterfly knife. "I find it easier if it's something I can throw, and it's easily retrievable. A sword's nice, but it slightly sucks for close-range."
"Interesting, and it's a really good point. So how my magic works is it has to augment a weapon for it to be active, but as long as that condition is satisfied, I can use it however I wish. Biggest downside is it makes me really tired after a while."
Aurora nods. "I see. So you're limited by how much strength you have?"
"Correct. As my magic is used, my mana based off my stamina drain alongside it."
She nods again. "Do you fly, by any chance? Or levitate? Like, anything that involves moving around without touching the ground."
"I can, but like my elemental magic, I have to augment something. For example.." Luna snaps her fingers and a broom appears at her side. Then she whispers something inaudible and the broom floats. Luna gets on top and floats a little bit off the ground. A little bit of purple glow surrounds the stick, kind of like Twilight Sparkle's magic. "Like so. I can use my telekinetic magic in either form to fly."
"Oh wow."
"I'm still trying to get used to it, but it gives me just a little bit more mobility. A response to my small stature, if you will. Do you have floating powers by chance?"
"No, I don't think... unless getting batted around by wind counts?" The wind picks up.
"Oh dear, that's an oddly timed wind gust." Luna quickly lands before the wind takes her.
"Like even now, it's still a bit hard to quote-unquote fly." The wind picks up more and more.
Luna braces herself to not get carried by it. She is rather light and short. "Ah, I see, this was from your powers then."
"This was what now?" Aurora shouts back.
"Uhhhhh so you're not doing the wind yourself?" Luna shouts to Aurora
"Wai-" Aurora gets flung upwards. She flails around, several feet off the ground, as the wind keeps her there, floating. "HELP!" she shouts.
"Coming!" Luna kicks off with her broom and zooms up to where Aurora is. She holds her hand out to catch her.
Aurora tries to catch Luna's hand. Once, twice, thrice, no dice. She manages to catch her hand on the fourth try, and holds onto it tightly.
"Hold on tight Aurora!" Luna flies down to the ground, keeping a firm grip on Aurora's hand. They land safely, but Luna keeps ahold of her until the wind dies down.
After a while, the wind dies out completely. Aurora breathes heavily and looks at Luna. "Th-thanks."
Luna nods. "Of course Aurora. I protect my friends however I can."
"Wh-where did that come from?" Aurora sounds terribly shaken.
"Huh??? Uhhhh..."
{- Lunes, you made this bed. Good luck. -} Krystal is chuckling evily.
"Uhhhh I just meant in terms of you being Chris's sister and um, since he's a friend of mine... Oh gods, if I offended you, I am so sorry.." Luna looks genuinely apologetic, panicked too.
"No, no, no. I meant the wind, I meant the wind. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it like that." Aurora looks panicky, like someone who only just realized they said something wrong.
"Ohhhhhhh I have no idea.. I thought that was your magic that went berserk or something. I guess the Many Gods wanted to play a mean joke on us?" She is struggling to explain things.
"The Many Gods?" She tilts her head and looks at Luna, confused.
"Yeah, it's a religious entity from my World, the Many Gods Above. They're said to control the weather among other things. I worship them."
Her face lights up in understanding. "Oh, I see. 'cause, like, we don't worship Gods, we worship our ancestors, so the idea is there, in a sense."
"Makes sense to me." Luna nods as she stifles a yawn.
She yawns as well. "Probably should go to sleep. Can you help me move him in, please?" She points to Chris lying on the grass.
"I got it." Luna focuses on Chris's body and snaps her fingers. He disappears. "He's on the couch in the living room now."
Aurora nods her thanks. "After you, Luna."
"Thank you." Luna enters the house and holds the door open for Aurora. Aurora walks through, and closes the door behind her.
