There is almost certainly something behind it.
Iura intends to find out what.
❤️
Iura had a question.
This was not unusual.
The unusual part was that, for approximately three minutes…
he had only one.
He stood in the middle of Lunaria and looked around.
A path went one way.
A little stream went another.
Something moved behind a bush.
And somewhere nearby…
there was probably something he had not investigated yet.
Iura smiled.
❤️
Iura: “Good.”
…
And off he went.
Raza had learned something about spending time with Iura.
You should never ask:
“What are you doing?”
Because Iura would tell you.
In detail.
That afternoon, a puddle had become an ocean.
A leaf had become a boat.
And several ladybugs had somehow been invited to lunch.
❤️
Raza watched Iura carefully place the little boat on the water.
Raza: “Where is it going?”
Iura considered this.
…
Iura: “We don’t know yet.”
Raza smiled.
Raza: “Then we’d better follow it.”
❤️
And this was one of the reasons Iura liked Raza.
She never needed to know where an adventure was going…
before agreeing that it was worth having.
🤍
Then they found the flower.
…
Iura crouched.
Raza crouched.
CHIRA arrived carrying supplies.
Nobody had called CHIRA.
CHIRA: “What happened?”
Iura: “We don’t know.”
CHIRA looked at the flower.
Then at Iura.
Then at Raza.
…
CHIRA: “Excellent.”
❤️
There are moments when an investigation requires an expert.
There are other moments when the arrival of an expert simply means…
the investigation has become significantly larger.
CHIRA opened her basket.
Iura reached for a stick.
Raza looked at both of them.
…
The flower continued being a flower.
For now.
❤️
No official report survives from what happened next.
There is photographic evidence.
And several witnesses remember three children and one badger running through Lunaria at considerable speed.
No one remembers why.
This includes them.
❤️
It was an excellent afternoon.
Later…
Iura began another investigation.
This one was different.
❤️
What happens when you try being someone you have never been before?
He found colors.
Buttons.
Pockets.
Several patches whose purpose remains unknown.
And enough courage to try.
He looked down at himself.
…
Not bad.
But something was missing.
🤔
The hat was right.
The bow tie was right.
The red nose was absolutely right.
Even the shoes seemed convinced.
🤣
Iura looked at himself.
There was only one thing left to discover.
…
Iura: “Do you think she’ll recognize me?”
❤️
Somewhere in Lunaria…
Aurora looked up.
She had not seen him.
She had not heard him.
She simply knew.
…
Aurora: „Iula.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️
And that was the first serious problem
in the future career of Sir Tumbulius.
❤️
IURA SOLENARA
You may become a hundred different things.
Home will still know your name.
❤️❤️❤️
Iura is coming too.
…
As soon as he finds out
what is behind that bush.
🤣❤️
