Yes, it is common to have a moon act like this, but it is still strange. But I still don't see why it wouldn't be possible to have Dunes moons be on different orbital planes and be relatively close together, and act the way they do. Perhaps the first moon is composed of mostly iron and the second of rock and water. Maybe the first moon has such a gravitational pull that it literally drags the second lighter moon along behind and below it. Not impossible.

And the reasons for Dunes orbit were left up to the reader. Perhaps it was put there or perhaps it was a free planet that was captured by it's star. All I was saying is that if it were placed there for some reason, the moons would be no harder to position where they are.
