"I'm... No. Not nervous," he says, trying to find his way through this conversation. It's not one he has very often, but he knows that if he doesn't say the right thing, he's going to have to explain way too much about the way he lives his life. Much as he likes Luka, he still hates to be made to feel like an outsider, like the way he lives is somehow abnormal when it's definitely the better way to live.
"I don't like being inside," he finally offers, stepping in close to Luka when his arm is taken. At least there's a different subject he can jump on to. "You're close to the rail, another step and-- yeah. Then the first stair is another step forward."
He's not really sure if Luka needs the explanation but he also doesn't want the man to trip up or down the stairs, so he's taking it slow. Once he's sure he's on the steps though, he moves with him, climbing upwards. Hopefully Eight is going to be just up here?
