One guy fits you up on a coup and you gave it up entirely? [ God, he's starting to see some parallels here. If Alphinaud starts to come up with some way it's his fault there isn't air in space too there will be no need for any more Quatre Winners on this planet. He's also.. mildly surprised that a kid who was so dogged to be allowed to help him until he gave him a flat, reasoned no would be so easily put off. Yes, it's not ideal to be taken out of power like that, but for some it would be a personal challenge to do better on the next.

Duo, personally, has never lead that kind of thing so he can't really comment on that, and decides to refrain. Who knew what other details there were though they may be offered up voluntarily soon enough. ]

Not gonna lie, man, I'm kinda surprised. You dogged at me for so long to try and help I thought for sure you would've jumped back in the saddle pretty quick.

If only to prove 'em wrong it's probably worth a shot.
