Actually, I take back what I said yesterday. The original works more for me, and it's not simply because I can tolerate laidback people expressing more than one range of default, preset emotions.

If anything, the fact that Luna's acting this peeved and "loose cannon" makes the scene more significant than any alternative without her as a dispute initiator. If her equable demeanor(which isn't nearly as prounounced as one might suggest)is being thrown by the wayside in the Lori-less bedlam, then it etches way more significance in Lori's abscence than if the easier, more predictable route of a Lynn-inspired squabble were to ensue.

What's more known(Lynn and Luna's behavior) is also less potent if similar beats are used to emphasize a particular grand point, that being Lori's role as sibling mediator/problem resolver. If Lynn's "always picking fights" and Luna's "never spurred to violence and ire", then why would their modus operandi be worthy any note when Lori's lack of presence is supposed to create pandemonium.
