"Oh," Luna says softly, eyes wide. "Roses."

Lavender blushes. She had expected more of a reaction, not just a subtle tone of surprise. "Roses," she agrees. "For you."

Luna takes them, the smallest of smiles on her lips. "Daddy says nargles don't care for roses, so these should be safe."

Lavender opens her mouth to remind Luna that nargles aren't real, but she changes her mind.

Luna doesn't seem to notice her scars. She kisses the disfigured flesh like it's still healthy, normal skin.

So why shouldn't Lavender humor her? Why shouldn't she smile as though nargles are normal things to talk about?

"That's a relief," Lavender says at last. "I would hate for nargles to ruin my gift to you."

"But why would you give me a gift?" the younger girl wonders, inhaling the fragrant white flowers deeply.

"Because I love you."

Another small smile, like she's heard something she doesn't quite understand. God, she's so beautiful.

"That's good," Luna says quietly. "Because I rather think that I love you, too."
