Elle reached up to help Luna's tinfoil icecream blob take shape, still laughing. But her mind was on the Lunamind coming into her own head, not at all worried about it. In fact, Elle kind of liked it.

Luna wasn't even aware of the outside world anymore. Her eyes closed, her breathing quickened, and her hands clasped over Elle's, as if she would drown in Elle's mind if she didn't hold on to someone.
Elle was right. This DID feel good.

Elle's eyes were shutting too, taking a step closer so that she was close enough to not knock them over by getting unbalanced. There was a bench there near her hip so she leaned partly on that for balance.
She had no idea what was going on, all she knew that her breath was coming faster and her skin getting warmer, and she could feel Luna...

It was about that time that Luna lost her focus. With a wordless cry of surprise, her eyes snapped open and she jerked away, the sudden shift from being inside Elle's mind to the real world disorienting both physically and mentally.

Elle blinked again and again as the feeling of Luna withdrawing in a sudden jerk, leaving her own mind suddenly empty of that second presence. Her head span somewhat, a hand grabbing at the bench behind her for balance so she didn't fall over, the other hand grabbing out to Luna so that Luna didn't fall either.

Luna held onto Elle for dear life, head spinning. For an instant, she couldn't think; she couldn't even PROJECT. All she could hear were the last lingering traces of Elle's mind, and the crinking of tinfoil around her head.
"...Whoa," she finally choked out.

Elle drew Luna closer so that she could get to the bench too. That was like...well. Um. Elle thought for a few head dizzy seconds that maybe it was the tinfoil, had that ...done that? Was that why geeks wore it? But she realised that it couldn't have been that after a few moments. And it was like something else... well, it was bloody fantastic, no matter what it was supposed to be.
She really liked Luna non-slimy tentacles.
"Yea, woah." Elle agreed weakly though a small smile, unsure of what else to say. "

A long pause as Luna caught her breath... and then she suddenly burst into peals of laughter.

Elle stared at her for a few moments, then started to laugh too. She tugged at the tinfoil so it came off, not a hard thing seeing as it had already started to rip alraedy, and crumpled it up.
"I guess we know tinfoil doesn't work." Elle giggled, her face still flushed from that.

More laughter. Maybe... maybe it's just... for radio waves!

"Maybe!" Elle wiped away the tears in her eyes, and then made sure she could stand without help. Looked good!
"Maybe we should forget tin foil hats and go find another movie to watch."
But she still couldn't shake the feeling that she'd gotten, nor the sudden increased like for Luna.

Right. Luna caught that thought loud and clear. Maybe The LIttle Mermaid would settle them both down a bit.
Maaaybe a little too much, Luna thought after the movie had been set up and began playing.
She couldn't help her eyelids suddenly feeling like weights, and she couldn't help her head slumping onto Elle's shoulder.
And whatever she dreamed while the movie played, she knew she couldn't be held responsible for.

Elle settled down on the couch, tugging a cushion over to cuddle it close. The movie captured her mind this time, and she was already getting droopy when she felt Luna's head slump onto her shoulder.
Maybe that was a good idea, Elle thought sleepily. She wasn't sure why she was so tired now but she was. And she needed sleep. Her eyes shut.
Moments later she was fast asleep as well, her mind tired out from earlier and exposed to parts of whatever Luna drempt...
