As Constance hissed at her, Luna flashed her a smile, finding that she was actually enjoying herself. This was all a game, wasn’t it? She was quite aware that Constance probably didn’t think she was helping, and that actually made it… fun. She shifted, pleased with herself. Constance reaction was just, really, what she expected. The woman would never believe that she was actually trying to help, and that was just… sad. All Luna could do was continue as she was, and maybe Constance would see that she wasn’t, at least here, trying to bring her down. At Constance’s words of having someone decent to talk to, Luna couldn’t stop herself from saying [b]”Oh, yes, Constance, because we both know you only like to talk about yourself. You hide behind a mask, that you must build everyday, because you are afraid to admit that you are… just. Like. me”[/b] 

She flashed Constance a smile, and then turned from her, the smile fading at Juliette's almost ghostly complexion. She wasn’t too sure what the old bat had said to Juliette to cause her to react in such a way, but it couldn’t be good. Luna quickly went back over everything that had been said, that she understand. The woman had offered [i]marriage[/i] to Constance. What if she had done the same to Juliette? Judging by the girls reaction, it wasn’t something that Juliette wanted.

She looked to Maxine, and new that she wouldn’t let herself, nor this girl be bullied by her. She quickly composed herself at Maxine’s comments, and gave a laugh, shaking her head, before she turned to Juliette once more, completely dismissing the woman from her thoughts. It was done smoothly, and in a way that wouldn’t be outright obvious, like the woman had done to her. And the fact that Luna had gotten a reaction from her, that in one of denial, showed that she could get under the woman’s skin. Oddly enough, just like she could with Constance. 

She crouched so that she was on level with Juliette, even if the girl couldn’t see her, it was still polite to look into her eyes as she spoke, trying to put emphasis and emotions into her words, gently taking the girl’s hand, and giving it a squeeze, wanting her to know that she wasn’t alone, and that there was someone there who just wanted the best for her. Luna might not be able to understand this island's language, this people’s customs, yet forcing someone into something was not [i]right[/i]. 

[b]”Juliette?”[/b] she asked softly, wanting to ask if she was okay, but knowing that she wouldn’t understand. Language barriers sucked, Luna decided, as she gave Juliette her full attention, wanting to simply… pick up the girl, and take her out of there, but she wouldn’t force that on Juliette. Although it would be interesting to see what Maxine would do, Luna would never want to force her beliefs onto the girl. She thought that Juliette would need to find her own two feet to stand on… maybe she just needed to be shown how. 

And she was acting like she’d be here for a while. Sudden worry filled her, that as soon a she left, there wouldn’t be anyone to stand in Maxine’s way, and then… Luna sighed heavily, wondering if there was anything that she could do, to make a permanent change here, at least for Juliette.
