"A noble cause, indeed." Luka laughs, with a detectable hint of jaded cynicism. "Is the integrity of anything ever truly safe from corporate influences anymore, though?"

It was a Sisyphean task that Luka was not unfamiliar with in his own life. Though he didn't so much safeguard his work's integrity as he attempted to balance being a corporate sell-out with being an artist - it wasn't impossible, but success in Luka's eyes required that he have his fingers in both pies.

"Concerned isn't the word I'd use, more like ...curious." Luka doesn't bat an eyelash at Garrot's suggestive touch, instead simply turning in his direction in response. "So many of you Knights are just so tight-lipped about anything interesting in your lives. I'm just glad at least one of you's giving me some good gossip."

It had, occasionally, felt like talking to a brick wall when it came to trying to get to know the Knights. Even asking about trivial topics like hobbies had netted Luka almost nothing in some cases. So the details of Garrot's romantic history were a feast in comparison.

"I don't dare mess with power dynamics like that in my own life. Way too messy. Too risky." He continues. "But I do find the thought intriguing, if I'm honest."
