[It absolutely doesn't matter that it's colder than normal. It's not snowing heavily today, so people passing through the square have a chance to see Luna, bundled up in her usual assortment of mismatched clothing, trying to sketch out a layout for a really big mural on the side of the clothing store in chalk while perched on a ladder. Except some

Comments

[esper_flight]

[Terra pauses to watch, growing even more confused as she peers upward and listens in.]

You're talking to the...wall?

[lunarwit]

[Luna looks down. Have an owl-blink, Terra.]

Is there a problem?

[esper_flight]

[She shakes her head.]

No, not with me...but I was wondering about you. You're blaming the wall for not doing what you want?

[lunarwit]

It's eating my chalk lines. Or absorbing them, one of the two. [She's speaking quite calmly.]

[ahappylie]

[Okita comes wandering by since he's seen others come this way and stops at the foot of the ladder, looking up at Luna.]

Did it answer you yet?

[lunarwit]

Not quite yet, I might need to teach it to speak. I think it's slowed down eating the chalk, though.

[ahappylie]

Well, so long as it isn't eating the chalk anymore.

[He moves to the side and looks up at her.]

What exactly are you doing up there?

[lunarwit]

The rafters.

[Sketch sketch sketch.]

[lunarwit]

You are, now, though I don't know if you were before. Were you?

[lunarwit]

Then you weren't asking the question about yourself, then. All right.

[And she'll just go on sketchin'.]

[Remus is on his way home, but he slows to a stop in front of Luna and her mural, eyes wide as his lips curve into a smile]

It looks beautiful so far. I can't imagine why the building wouldn't want it. [hey, some buildings do gain a certain sentience, and who knows with Luceti?]

[lunarwit]

[Hogwarts sometimes seems to have ideas of its own, though that might just be the house elves and the paintings.]

I've just gotten started on it, perhaps since it doesn't know what it will end up as, it doesn't want anything on it.

[alwaysmoony]

[slow nod] Understandable. [to the building] You ought to trust her, you know.

[lunarwit]

We'll see what happens, then. [She pats the wall with her left hand, then smiles down at Lupin.] Did you have a good holiday then, Professor?
