[ He tries to keep his tone nonchalant as if this is a thing that could very well still happen. The way the distress shows on Matt's face breaks him, and he laughs. Shaking his head, he tries to dispel those worries. ]
I'm not going to make you eat crickets.
[ He's not his adopted father. He thinks Lei Kung might have been amused by the joke at least. Small moments like that warm his heart to think on. Despite the hardships there he misses K'un Lun greatly. ]
I bet we could talk Luke into it though.
[ Which would be hilarious in and of itself. The invulnerable man's skepticism might prove too strong. Do they still do pranks for April Fool's Day? He opens the door and lets Matt go out first.

[Sort of. Kind of. Matt shrugs it off. They both are smiling fools in this moment. Matt tips his head in thanks for the door service.]
Do you really want the consequences of that?
[Ah but he can't keep the amused tilt out of his tone. It does sound like a perfect bit of mischief.]
Can I guess what kind of meal is in the works? Or is it that much of a surprise?
[More than that, is Matt even aware of the name of the dish to be able to identify it?]
