[...Crap, she seems annoyed. He offers an awkward laugh.]
The only possible witness I could offer isn't someone I'd like to get involved, and I've no way of knowing whether he was actually a witness or not. [Which is to say, Engel is sort of handwavily following this kid around all the time anyway, but Luke is so not letting you anywhere near him if he can help it. He takes a solid step backward at this point, harmlessly putting a hand behind him.] If Your Majesty would accept some other form of proof, such as being shown what I have spent the morning doing that doesn't involve painting your roses? [Where the hell are these roses of yours, anyway?]
