"If that's how you want to read into my approach, who am I to stop you?" He shrugs, his tone lighthearted and impish despite Garrot's initial scoff of judgement.
He's still brushing off stray sand as Garrot stops his training and makes his approach. Luka's about to open his mouth and respond to his exercise explanation when Garrot stops short in front of him and drops some pretty heavy assumptions.
"I-," he begins, and Luka feels his face flush with embarrassment. He wasn't used to being so boldly called out like this! "I didn't expect you to just sob into my shoulder like a baby, you know. But maybe you should try it, because it might be cathartic for you."
He folds his arms defensively, and then Garrot uses the word 'cowardly' to describe him and Luka feels himself boiling over as the rest of Garrot's question melts away unnoticed.
"Oh, I apologize that my concern for your well-being is irritating to you." He says through clenched teeth, one foot digging into the sand beneath him. "I wanted to cheer you up, that's why I came out here. I didn't want you to be angry and alone when all of the Knights seem to be dropping dead like flies. But fine, keep being stubborn and obstinate if you really want to end up in that cave like the rest of them!"
His last words are nearly shouted, and when Luka finishes he's breathing heavy with his hands balled into fists at his side. This definitely didn't go the way he was hoping it to, oops.
