"Mummy, Mummy!" Luna calls brightly, pointing animatedly as a yellow and black butterfly passes by. "Look, Mummy! Butterfly!"
"How pretty, darling," her mother says, resuming her task at hand.
Luna knows she's meant to be helping her mother collect potions ingredients, but she can't help but get distracted. Her young mind races, as it so often does when she's outside. Her bare toes dig into the dirt, and the grass tickles her little legs with each step.
"Can I live outside, Mummy?" Luna asks, running to catch up to her mother.
The older woman chuckles, kneeling to examine the yellow-and-green striped blossoms of a vine. "Where will you sleep, my darling moonchild?"
Luna considers for a moment, face scrunching up in thought. She brushes her muddy fingers through her hair, leaving black-brown streaks among the blonde curls. "I can make a bed of leaves and flowers!" she answers proudly. "It'll be the best bed in the whole world!"
"What about a blanket?"
Again, the seven year old pauses to think. Her lips purse together, but she can't think of an obvious solution. "Can I bring my blanket out with me?"
Her mother chuckles softly and turns her attention away from the vine and the task at hand. She shuffles closer, still on her knees, and pulls Luna into a warm hug. "And what would happen if Daddy and I missed you?" she asks, ruffling Luna's hair.
"You can live outside with me too."
"We'll have to think about it, my moonchild."
And Luna knows her parents probably won't let her. They always let her do fun, silly things, but living outside my be too silly. Still, as she runs along, smiling broadly and chasing butterflies, she hopes her parents will reconsider. Being outside like this is too lovely, and she never wants to go back inside.
