Luna Lovegood was a strange character for certain, her curiosity was subtle to those who paid no mind and obvious to those who would look for more than a second, her eyes twinkled with curiosity as she explained her fascination for magical beasts -- she would talk about the dragon, Gnomes, and Fwoopers. She had clear expertise in this subject, Zeke would be as bold saying she knew more than him... though that wasn't that hard of a line to cross, it was interesting to talk to someone who definitely knew more than him. 

"Is it alright if I call you Zeke?" It wasn't even a question that needed to be asked in Zeke's opinion, people could call him a bastard for all he cared, it wasn't up to him what other people called him, though he would prefer not to be called anything other than his name. 

"I don't mind," Zeke answered, leaning back on the comfortable seat of the train, he looked at Luna with a questioning gaze, he wondered if she got some kind of early education, if she'd been born a mage then obviously she'd been taught some common spells right? Zeke wondered if she could teach him something. He felt his glasses slide down and he pushed them up. 

"Why are you wearing glasses inside? I thought it was a muggle superstition that doing that causes bad luck." 

"Well for some definitely, but I need these glasses," Zeke answered, pushing his glasses up, "How about we make this a game," Zeke proposed with a smile on his face, dropping his Mugen and letting the hat atop his head finally come in contact with it. 

"What kind of game?" Luna seemed to have her reserves against any troublesome games, something Zeke could wholeheartedly understand.

"We each get a set number of questions and ask each other -- the other party is required to answer the question, you get three passes, how about it?" Zeke asked, he didn't have much to hide and he doubted anyone had a legitimate question for any of his secrets, they would have to already know about him to ask. 

"Alright, how many questions are you thinking of?" wondered Luna, flipping the pages of Zeke's old and dusty book.

"I was thinking of five, that way I get at least 2 questions definitely answered," said Zeke, smiling as Luna agreed to the game.

"Only you get 2 questions answered?" Luna looked at Zeke with knit eyebrows, as if she didn't understand what he meant. Zeke was going to answer all questions truthfully and he was going to pass none of them. "I start then." Luna volunteered. Zeke nodded and told her to go right ahead.

"Why do you have to wear glasses?" Luna's first question was already a hard one, Zeke smiled and he leaned back -- he wasn't going to pass any questions. 

"My eyes are special, and they need to be protected from seeing too much because it burdens my mind," Zeke answered without hesitation, putting the side of his foot atop his knee while taking his bubble blower from his luggage and placing it on his lip. Zeke blew a bubble and then grinned.

"In what way are they special?" Luna asked, Zeke wasn't expecting her to comment on his eyes, he tilted his head and smiled, taking the bubble blower from his lips.

"These Eyes give me extreme perception and immense processing power, I perceive things in a more complete way than most." Zeke placed the bubble blower on his lip and then blew some more bubbles, letting them fly about before taking the small pipe from his lips, "That's two questions out of the way, ask the next one."

"You never had the intention of using the question pass did you?" asked Luna, Zeke grinned and rose an eyebrow.

"Is that a question for the game? Or is it a curiosity?"

"Curiosity" Zeke grinned and shrugged, "Alright," Luna put a hand on her chin and knit her eyebrows, making Zeke raise an eyebrow and wonder whether she had any more questions other than his eyes, "So many questions... what is the function of a rubber duck?"
