A little.

[ it's a work in progress, he's trying!

he drops lower, closer to her so he can move onto a higher difficulty course than the one he started with. he's probably not going to be able to do the expert level, but he can do more than beginner at least. ]

No, I'm not.

[irreversal]

[ She watches him move onto a more difficult course. It may not be the most difficult, but surely he's going to do well in this, too, and look good while doing it, too. Some people are just blessed (?) that way, huh...

His answer does pique her interest, though, and she calls her question up at him: ]

Are you going to Maya's world, then?

[beatmatching]

[ he moves slower through this one, but continues making good progress. ]

Yeah, I am. She's not the first one to ask me to go somewhere else, but she's the only one I would accept.

[ as everyone else in the game has realized, luka lives and breathes the definition of Lock the Fuck In. but hey, their bbr thread was productive! ]

[irreversal]

[ Yeah, he sure Locked the Fuck In. Honestly, Shoko has to respect the hustle. ]

Hoh... So, what will you do when you go there? Try something different?

[beatmatching]

I'm not sure. I have a lot to learn about being just a human and not a pet-human.

[ said as he almost slips but catches himself. it won't be an easy road, but nothing about his life has been easy. ]

[irreversal]

[ She sees him almost slip and stands at attention a bit— ]

Oooi. Try not to get hurt while we're out here, yeah? I'm off duty, you know.~

[ SIGHS!!! How is she going to explain this to Maya if she brings Luka back from an outing with a sprained ankle or something. ]

Anyway... You definitely have your work cut out for you after this, huh?

[beatmatching]

I've performed through a lot worse.

[ he'll be fine! ]

...I don't. But I won't disappoint her.

[irreversal]

[ that is NOT reassuring... but it's fine. ]

Good. Maya must be scary when she's disappointed...

[ and that's coming from Shoko!! ]

[beatmatching]

[ he loops back towards her again, eyeing the advanced climb now. he's breathing a little heavily because he was not made for this but he's also just way too used to bullrushing through things when given a task. ]

I haven't disappointed her yet. [ somehow, against all odds. ] But I'd rather not find out—I want to make her happy.
