Thank him? For his hard work? Luka can't help but agree he's deserving, especially considering the chaos of last couple of days.

"Welllll, I— " He's readying his next cheeky reply when the other Luka is suddenly approaching.

Luka reacts as soon as Nine graciously explains the situation, throwing himself out of the way. No way, this was not happening again.

He doesn't have any magic or weaponry to fight back with, but he can at least try to subdue the copy. So he's going to throw himself at himself, and hopefully at least get the other Luka off his feet.
