So uh, I just watched an early episode with a lot of Luna, episode 3. That's gotta be the easiest way to resolve the question.
No, Luna does not use keigo at all with Usagi. She always uses the familiar verbs with Usagi, though she is polite in doing so. Luna uses feminine voice and particles, and typically uses "atashi" for herself, but is also more direct than Usagi, using 'yo' at the end of sentences a lot. I have vague recollections of Luna using more formal speech when the occasion requires it (and is probably quicker on that uptake than Usagi), but no more than standard Japanese code-switching works.
Actually at the early stage, while Luna's voice sounds a little more mature, she takes more of a tone of a frustrated babysitter than an older grump. They act like they're in the same age group.
Also in episode 3: the disguise pen. I do hope you make good use of that, Bob. There were at least 30 episodes later on where I why they didn't just use it to sneak into places.
Good to see the kB count creeping up!
