Fair enough, I guess...
[The redhead had become skilled in all of his talents, because he'd devoted so much time to them. Luke had given his all to become capable of cooking good food, for example. So...if Allen's being truthful, he can definitely respect that level of commitment to get this great at something. Hard work is something Luke admires, after all.]
Heh...maybe. [Watching the cards get dealt, Luke lets out a sheepish laugh.] As...tempting as it is to try beating you- [and as frustrated as he is to admit this (hence his tone expressing that)]- I don't exactly have anything else to offer up. So, unless you just want to play for the fun of it, I'm gonna have to call it quits.
[Fortunately, for Luke, he's lost a bit of that pride that'd had him chasing after Spinoza, rather than going straight to Daath.]
