“How exciting! Travel really is rather freeing; I hope you’ve been finding plenty of new horizons.”
These last few years, after all, had been the polar opposite of freedom. Luna doesn’t let the fact of it shake her smile too much.
“The same, in a way. I wanted to— get away for a while. See more of the world.” There’s a brief flash of something tired in the back of her eyes, but it doesn’t linger, “There’s so much more than just home, after all, and it was a wonderful opportunity to try to find some of the creatures my— my father always spoke of.”
This time the ache in her expression is much more apparent, but her voice doesn’t tremble as she continues, “It’s what he would have wanted, I think.”
"Oh, there's been plenty. I've mostly used muggle means to travel, which was a whole lot of new horizons in itself for me, but I find it's more focused on the travel itself, rather than simply getting you to your destination, and I like that." It's been so long since she's seen that sort of strained expression on someone else; it was part of the reason she'd left, if she were honest, and she tried to be these days. It seemed easier to handle now that she'd had a break from it all, though.
"Have you managed to find any?" She asked curiously, rather than linger on offering likely unwanted condolences. She did soften her gaze, though; everyone lost people during the war, some just didn't finish leaving until after it had ended.
