She'd Probably Be Humming "Here Comes The Sun" If She'd Ever Heard of Paul McCartney [Open!]

When she had still been on Earth, Luna had only been allowed into Muggle shops on occasion. Consequently, nearly the second she set foot on Zokez II, Luna was off in a flash of quiet oohing and aahing over restaurants with food made without magic, clothing boutiques sporting dresses and cardigans. She had spent a good two hours in a camera store, asking the clerk peculiar questions about why the people and things portrayed in the photographs of Muggles remain stationary a good amount of the time, and generally disconcerting him and all of his customers.

After quite a bit of vague wandering on the second day, she located a dress that reminded her desperately of home, eyes widening fantastically at the sunflower-patterened cotton, and she had donned it moments after waking the next day.

Sundress wrapped around her slim frame, Luna finds herself in a nice little jewelry shop, full of the semi-well-made, rhinestone-sprinkled baubles and earrings she has always admired during her short sojourns into the non-magical part of London.  Presently, her blue eyes are twinkling at a display of butterfly hair clips with wings that move, tweaking the sparkly bits of metal gently whenever they look like they're about to go still, a little basket with a few sets of earrings and a bracelet beside her on the counter.  As far as anyone can tell, she has fallen in love with the things, and it really doesn't look like she'll be moving anytime soon.

Rose wore a camisole and cropped trousers, both in lightweight fabrics appropriate to the weather. When she’d arrived planet-side, her first order of business had been to buy some clothes and change out of her plant-suit; to say it’d been a relief to get into some non-living clothing was an understatement.

She spent the next couple of days larking about, practically living at the beach, before she returned to the more practical matter of shopping. Along with necessities such as food (especially chocolate) and shoes, Rose wanted to pick up another pair of earrings since she hadn’t gotten hers back after waking up on Stacy. That led her to the jewelry shop.

On her way toward the earrings section, she noticed a girl fixated on the butterfly clips. “Oh. I remember these.” She remarked, both her Cockney accent and nostalgia evident in her voice. Rose smiled, picking up a blue one and watching it glitter in the light. Really, she shouldn’t buy it; it was too conspicuous and liable to get caught on something while she was running—which she inevitably would be, especially with two Doctors about.

She turned towards Luna, pointing to a golden clip. "You know, that one would look cute with your dress."

Luna's eyes fix vaguely on Rose, head tilting and following her movements as she picks up one of the butterflies. She really just wants to buy all of them, cover her head with kinetic butterflies, but she considers the other girl's suggestion briefly. Her eyes slide between her dress and the golden clip, blinking slowly, before she lights up and smiles.

"Oh, because they're both yellow? Yellow does look nice with yellow, doesn't it?"
