“Ohh gosh, you came to pay respects to the celestial bodies too?!?” Lunea softly chirped, Shade quickly shutting the door to Ulvi’s chambers as he gulped and nodded.

“U-uhh, yeah! Yeah I did, just got done with that in fact. Was…quite exhilarating.” Shade grinned at the little moth, Lunea beaming as she pressed all four of her hands against her chest.

“That’s so wonderful, I’m glad more and more are beginning to appreciate all their great unknowing might! I and my people might be partial to the moon ourselves, but I’m glad to have someone putting so much effort into all the bodies!” She beamed, Shade nodding as he scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

“Y-yeah well, there’s much to appreciate about what they provide! Glad to be of service.” He chuckled, giving Lunea a smile back as she beamed and grinned.

“You were in there for QUITE a while, I came as soon as the moon rose for the solstice, and you had already been in there before then! I ended up doing most of my prayer out here, which was fine. But what did you both get up to in there?!? It must have been quite the riveting sermon to keep YOU engaged for so long!” Lunea asked, the picture of innocence in her color filled eyes as Shade meeped, flushing a bit and stammering repeatedly before finally sputtering out.

“Y-you know, just, lots of prayer! And much appreciation for the round, beautiful, curvy celestial bodies…” Shade nodded, eyes shifting a bit before meeping and focusing back on Lunea. The moth beaming, nodding, and chirping with a soft giggle.

“There’s so much to appreciate indeed, I’ll have to get this scripture from Ulvi! I’ll go ask her right now! I was on my way to finish off this winter solstice with her anyway!” Lunea beamed, walking past Shade as he stammered and reached a hand out to her.

“W-wait no you don’t have to do that! W-wai-” But he was cut off with the door shutting in front of him, Lunea already squeaking and chirping at Ulvi as the ness could be heard scooping her up in her arms. The sound died down and vanished as they moved away from the heavy wooden frame, and Shade gulped as he slowly, then quickly made his way from the doorway.

Ulvi was equally as likely to ‘dance around’ what they did as she was to just blatantly tell Lunea, and Shade did not want to be around to see what a full solstice powered moon beam felt like if she decided to do the latter…

Andd this is the finisher for today, my bust sketch for December done by the ever lovely  DinoGoat . I felt I haven't given Lunea enough love in a while ; v ; so felt at least getting this would be good! Then as I was writing this I thought about 'also doing this bust' then the story link just all fell into place. Just amused me greatly thinking of Lunea, the innocent moth that she is, just coming up to Shade RIGHT after all that and just being so happy to have another faithful member XD feheheh, will just have to hope Ulvi does the 'cliff notes' version...or the little moth might be a bit more than a healer for a bit >//>; fheehe. Was super fun though, and such an adorable lil rendition of Lunea ; v ; I appreciate it a lottt!
