"His
language is naked", she thought, and perhaps it was.
No
futile words.
The girls just don't get it.
It was the
economy of his language that pulled her to him. Few words were
necessary when they sat together. A quiet understanding.
They
had started to tease her. Ginny being the worst, asking her to seduce
him, trying to encourage Luna to flirt.
But it felt wrong.
They dressed her up, combing her hair, using tons of
cosmetics on her face. They told her she would charm him.
Lent
clothing felt oddly wrong.
Luna didn't like that kind of
magic, she was fond of what they had.
She wants to meet him in
the nude, as simple as their relationship is.
Not wanting to
hurt their friends' feelings, she had run to the forest before taking
her clothes off.
She had always been welcome in the woods.
Creatures share their secrets with Luna, recognizing her as one of
their own. Even the centaurs bow their heads in recognition.
As
the trees came into sight blue shoes were lost in the lawn.
Her
bare feet felt the dampness of the fresh herbs.
Her hair lace
hung freely from a tree, dancing at the wind.
Later the silky
strands of her dress were part of the robin's nest.
Dryads
and Naiads came to enfold her. Washing her face with clear water.
As it ran through her body, a delicate translucent cloth was
create.
Dryads and Naiads had invested her with their
sister's robes.
Plain, simple, pure.
"His language
is naked", she thought as she waited for Remus. Just as her love.
