Nope, you most certainly couldn't. He didn't expect her to be one of those who would feel surprised, at all. Unless of course she was just... surprised by that kind of thing in general, anyway. And he was definitely silly, at times. That was another something that hadn't disappeared, in spite of his travels.

For him, there wasn't really any sweat dripping down his face; he'd been training with Gaara since day one. So, while there was some on his face, it hadn't reached that point just yet. His being a tiny bit out of breath was going to gradually diminish as he continued stretching. A soft blink as he heard her number was given.

"I think we got almost the same amount, then. I got close to around 65, but," and then he was quickly following up with, "...that's probably only because some of mine were grouped together towards the end!"

hahaahahah yeah indeed hurgh

Makes sense. It's how people like her roll. Silly is good. It makes things less awkward when there are awkward situations.

Young ones are lucky aren't they? They also adjust a lot better than the older people and yes it seemed like Luke was the hard working type. She's not surprised. Selen needed to get where Luke was at the moment, but it was going to take some time since she still had a lot to handle on her skills.

"That's pretty closer~" she chuckled cheerfully. Well, he certainly was the type to take challenges seriously. She didn't mind though. It was harmless.

"It doesn't matter now does it? You seem to have beaten me by a few little buggers ~ It's fair game."

She chime cheerfully, "Now you'll just have to tell me what you like to eat so I can make it. All this fighting is making me hungry."

He wouldn't necessarily think that -- Jade was one of the strongest people in his group back home and he wasn't that old (never mind what he liked to claim...). Honestly, his need to work harder had a lot to do with his current mindset. He needed something to keep him distracted -- if he remained stagnant, his thoughts would drift too much.

Of course! In all honesty, that was the first time he'd been given a fun challenge... and it had managed to lift his spirits. At least he wasn't the type to rub anything in anyone's face... or unnecessarily brag. If anything, he admired her all the more, in spite of who won what. She was still someone he wanted to learn from.

"I just got lucky!" In spite of the laugh, he was being completely serious; he didn't think that small competition was enough to really tell their skills, "Uh... I'm sure I'd be happy with whatever you made!"

He'd learned how to not be picky.

Drifting thoughts can be harmful to one's health, especially when they have a lot of heavy burdens. It's not surprising to think that way.

Selen needed to change that if it's really his first fun challenge. She always came up with silly games in order to entertain those around her. The world was already a hard place to live in, so why not make the best of it? She was pretty optimistic about everything, though it sometimes might not always work in her favour. She tried, however. Luke was a precious boy, and she looked forward to engaging with him even more in the future.

"Don't be silly, whatever the circumstances, you still won," she chuckled at him, "Oh-- but there's too many things in the world to make!"

She chimed, "You must have something you miss eating!"

[headfons]

Her optimism could be refreshing... and perhaps even help him regain what had been lost of his.

Luke returned the chuckle, though his was missing a little something -- for the most part, it just sounded tired. Not quite in the physical way, but... more or less the emotional way. His smile matched, though... grew a little at her words, before turning sheepish.

Scratching at the back of his head, he glanced to the side and appeared to be thinking, "W-well, I... uh... Do you know how to fry chicken?"

It was almost embarrassing how simple a meal it was that he'd come to miss; he'd been so focused on trying to figure out all the things Gaara liked, lately, that he'd found himself missing his old favorites. But it was also because it was something so simple, that he was willing to fess up to one of his favorite dishes.

[wings_of_steel]

It's a good thing to have sometimes, really, though other times not so much. It's really situation that would determine that.

"Hmm, not sure what that means, but I can pretty much do that after a few tries," she replied chuckling. It was embarrassing so she didn't mind too much. Selen was glad that he was taking her up on the offer. She didn't mind learning how to do things like 'frying chicken,' since she would eventually figure it out.

"We can try to figure it out together if you want?" she chimed, before pushing him forward, "Now enough talk, let's get moving. I'm quite hungry!"
