Mmmn.. [ Duo hums, thinking it over, mentally measuring what he thinks is Alphinaud's height plus his own, then gauging the walls around them. It might be worth it, but to deplete Alphinaud's strength even more when they're already in a bad way? ]

Honestly, I don't know if it's worth the energy expulsion to try that route. Your height plus mine still may not give me a good enough hand hold by the looks of it and then we've just tired you out for nothing. [ A little pause, and Duo's expression grows a bit more serious as he turns back to look at him - ]

And they'll definitely be back for us before this is all over. Whether it's together or separate.
