Luke had never once maintained contact with Gaara...simply for the touch requirement. Not towards the end, anyway. If that were the case, he'd have simply resorted to resting a hand on the ninja's shoulder, at that time. If asked, he'd gladly clear that misunderstanding right up.
He attempted to brace himself against being pulled down, but he had...considerably less strength, than he'd had in the last world. That was going to take some getting used to. While he wasn't able to prevent himself from falling, he did manage to do his best to brace against the impact- he wanted to, at least, ensure he did as little damage as possible to the mage.
After shifting, a bit, so that he was propped on to one of his hands and knees, he paused at the apology. Blinking a couple of times, he grinned, "Heh, it's fine! It wasn't your fault--you just reacted."
The question of their memories, however, had his face freezing, for a moment. Slowly, a blush appeared as his expression softened. It was in that moment, the shock wore off, and notice was taken to the significance of their position. A hand lifted, and then he was running the knuckle of one finger down the side of Gaara's face. A couple of seconds passed, and then his expression was faltering as his blush brightened.
"Well, uh..." He paused, just for a moment, and then moved to stand, a hand reaching to help his friend stand, as well, "...I'd hope, since we remember the same place, that we remember the same...events."
Ion blinked in surprise, but didn't fight against his paws being taken, "K-kupo...You really think so? Thank you." Smiling with a bit less reserve, he gave a nod, "Luke really is nice, kupo! He seems really like smiling." Then, after a short pause, and in a thoughtful tone, "He's one of the people Luke mentioned not long after waking up. I'm sure they are good friends! Luke seems to have a lot of friends, kupo..."
