"Okay," I said after swallowing. "Enough about me, then. Let'stalk about you."
"Ooookay," Sailor Moon mumbled dubiously around her spoon. Luna
looked at me suspiciously over her sandwich.
I held up a french fry and gestured with it like it was a
pointer. "Sailor V. Sailor Moon. What's the connection betweenyou two? Some kind of franchise deal?"
Sailor Moon opened her mouth to answer, then closed it. Then sheturned to her ... pet? partner? companion? "You know, Luna,that's a really good question," she said. "You just showed up
tonight and told me I was Sailor Moon, and then I transformed and
I heard Naru calling for help, and then everything else all
happened, and this is the first chance I've had to think about it
all. Do you know Sailor V? Am I supposed to be her partner or
something?"
I was pretty sure the black cat was Luna's native form, but itwas a very *human* expression of panic and uncertainty that swept
across her face for a fraction of a second before she schooled
her features into something more confident -- even arrogant. "That is not something I should be revealing to a random strangerin a cheap restaurant," she declared haughtily. "When we returnto your home, Sailor Moon, I shall explain everything."
Translation for those who don't speak Cat: "That will give me
enough time to get my story straight."
