[Named or nameless, he's still a New Yorker. Matt can't imagine going from a place as big, as stimulating as the city to a rural, cold mountain top. The point of it all is that Danny is here now. There has always been a place for him. There always will be. It's got nothing to do with destiny or worthiness.]
You wouldn't really feed me donkey.
[Cane obtained and extended. Before going to the door he pauses.]
[ Davos is still convinced the Iron Fist should have stayed in K'un Lun. Danny has made his own path. He was guided here. He knew that before, and he knows it even now. This is where he belongs. ]
[Destiny means that there is no escape from the path, it's inevitable. Who is to say that catastrophe isn't a part of success? Matt hasn't dismissed the possibility since his come back.
He gets his keys and glasses can't hide the way his eyebrows lift and his nostrils flair.]
[ It could very well be. There are a lot of uncertainties to face still. Threats that may lurk in shadows they've yet to expose to the light. Danny knows that whatever happens he has friends who will help him face it.
[The lines on Matt's face intensify with distress. He would never say it was out right awful sounding, though the sentiment is hanging in the air. The very dry cough and throat clearing before saying.]
I'd give it I try I guess.
[Someone has never intentionally eaten bugs Danny Rand. Ah but life has taken him so many, many places. He is not just some rich kid. His life is a wealth of experience, of passion. He has worked very, very hard to be the champion of K'un Lun.]
[ 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.
Once they get down to street level he stops to pull in a breath of the more crisp air. Winter is on its way. It'll be nice to see the city like that again. ]

...would you?

It's better tasting than crickets.
[ Which still is not an answer, he knows. ]

I...don't think that crickets would be for me.

[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?]
