Luke was under the assumption that Gaara had simply been here when the others visited (silly him), so he wasn't going to ask for an elaboration. Of course, if anything were to pique his curiosity, regarding it...maybe he would flat-out ask. He wasn't, exactly, shy about asking the ninja questions, after all.
Fortunately, for Luke, he had been in the company of many people. None of them had been afraid to tell him when and how he should respond to certain things. Everything had, in some ways, all been spelled out, for him. The thing was...the more comfortable the replica got with Gaara, the more he'd been willing to point things out, for him. He wouldn't have any problem with helping the guy out. Really, he just needed to know it was okay.
"Because it's not something you had to do," he said, rather easily, "I mean...I would have done the same thing, if the situation was reversed. Still, though...it's been an entire month. There are a ton of other things you could be doing, right now," he said in a somewhat softer tone, "So, I...really appreciate that you're here."
To the last two sentences, Luke was giving a fond smile. Even if those words didn't expressly match the speaker's face, he...could still appreciate the sentiment. While the replica wasn't the most keen at understanding the way Gaara thought and felt, he knew one thing for certain. That the guy didn't just say things for the sake of making someone feel better. He was to-the-point. When he said that he was glad that Luke had awakened, it meant just that: glad he was finally awake.
"I'll be careful," Luke said with that smile still intact.
The redhead glanced to the side, a moment. After that short pause, he was reaching up and pulling the other teen into a hug. Why? Because he could, of course -- on a serious note, however, Luke didn't have an active reason for doing so. When it came to things, like this, it wasn't as though he took the time to think it through.
