Wit Beyond Measure Is Man's Greatest--Ooh, a Blibbering Humdinger [Open!]

It has been an odd week for the blonde in the Mess, and though she always looks a bit peculiar, her dottiness is rather more present than usual today

Rei's head felt like it was going to split apart, his headaches were getting so bad. There was just too much going on in his brain. Every so often, a voice would jump into his head from nowhere, and start... talking. No, not just talking. They showed him things, too. It was like a film being projected into his head, but the projectionist only had part of one reel, would give up showing that film, and then try another one a little while later.

Maybe if he got something to eat, the headache would go away. He'd already tried lying in a dark and quiet room, and that hadn't worked. So food it was, for now.

He dropped his tray of gloop unceremoniously on a table, and sank into a seat, trying to force himself to eat, while clutching his watch in one hand like a kid holds a security blanket. After one half-hearted bite, he noticed the blonde shoeless girl staring at him. She kind of unnerved him a bit.

"Um... hi?" He managed to say, not really sure what to think of her.

Luna blinks, her wand stilling in her hand.

"Hello," she responds, not seeming to notice--or maybe she just doesn't care--that her staring is making him uncomfortable.

If it's any reassurance, she's not really "staring at him". It's more along the lines of "idle studying".

Someone not caring that Rei was uncomfortable. There seemed to be a lot of that going on recently. Then again, he did have the tendency to pop up out of nowhere and bother normal people who may or may not have met him yet in his homeworld, so maybe he deserved it a little.

"Yeah, hi," he said again. His brain was clearly not all there today.

"So, um. How's... it going?" It would seem that without a fully-together head, Rei quickly became one of the most awkward people ever.

"If by "it" you mean "life", then I suppose it's going alright, though I do rather miss having shoes that fit," she says, finally breaking eye contact with him in order to tuck her bare feet under her in her seat.

Rei hadn't noticed that she didn't have shoes, but managed to catch a glimpse of her feet before she tucked them under her.

"Why don't you have any shoes? Didn't you get any clothes when we were down on the planet a while back?" Had she been there? He wasn't sure, he'd been so lost in the madness.

Luna doesn't react much to his question, starting to roll her wand between her fingers again.

"I outgrew them a few days ago. It was quite abrupt, but I would have to trim my toes off if I were to fit my feet into them. I keep meaning to ask if there are any extras on the ship, but I forget rather a lot. I'm a bit used to being barefoot, you know."
