[He has a feeling he's going to come to regret this. Still, though...he actually is enjoying the opportunity to not think about anything bad. This distraction is, honestly, very welcome. Never mind the look of annoyance he tosses Allen as he picks up his cards.
Studying them, he forces himself to keep a calm face. The only reason he became better at poker, is because Jade taught him how to keep his face steady (apparently watching Luke continue to lose Gald in that casino had grown painful, or something). Either way, it's the only time Luke's able to. Granted, he still can't keep his eyes unreadable. That's Luke, though. He's a terrible liar, in the end, no matter how someone looks at it.
When it's his turn, he returns some cards, and then draws new ones.]
