I wish I was as good at listening to her.

I mean, she doesn't say much, but there is meaning there.

Yeah. [Glancing sideways.]

I don't feel that bond the same way now, but there's... I don't know. A different one. Not just the team bond, but... closer friendship.

[Looking back up.]

You know. Like you and me.

...Only I feel sort of responsible for her, too. I think if I felt too responsible for you I'd get scolded. And smacked.

And deserve it.

[He'd been worried that mentioning their friendship would get awkward. Or even worse, that she wouldn't know what he meant.

Crisis averted.]

We look out for each other.

Not that Luna doesn't look out for me, too, but I'm not sure how much she understands. Sometimes much more than I think, sometimes less.

From: [personal profile] detectivewonder
Exactly. My judgment is good enough for me. But for her, when I'm not around every minute, and she might have understood something I said in a totally different way than I meant it... although, you know, always a logical way...

...You think this is what parenting is like?

Well, it's probably not an eighteen-year commitment. And we get to skip the messy bits.

I think I can, but I'd rather I couldn't.

The Darkness must not target them the way it targeted us.
