Luca noticed the elders and felt a pang of guilt. He made a mental note to spend extra time with them when he returned.
Before he could dwell on it further, Luna stepped forward, a strange package in her hands.
"Come here, Luca." She said, motioning for him to crouch down.
Luca obediently lowered himself to her level, and Luna reached up to wrap something around his neck.
He felt her fingers working behind him, tying a knot of some kind, before she finally pulled back with a satisfied smile.
"There." She said, her voice filled with pride. "It looks really good on you, Luca. You look like a real Hero!"
Luca looked down at himself and blinked in surprise.
Draped over his shoulders was a large red blanket—no, a cape—that had been expertly fashioned into a flowing garment.
It hung down his back, rippling slightly in the breeze, and made him look like a child playing dress-up in a fort.
He couldn't help but chuckle.
