“Smiling at me ruefully, Luka scratched the back of his head. “Yeah, I guess you can.” He sauntered toward the sliding doors. “I’ll be right outside if you need me. Call if you get dizzy.”
“You’ll probably just hear a very loud thump.”
He frowned at my joke. “Not funny.”
“Luka?” He stopped. “Thank you for keeping an eye on me.”
“Just…” He tsked. “Just don’t scare me like that again.”

"So, if I say king—"
"Hail the king!"
I tried again. "King?"
"Hail the king!"
"King."
"Hail the king!"
"K—"
"Stop it!”
