As awesome and adventurous as Nysa has proven to be so far.. even someone like Duo could feel a little lonely from time to time. Yes, Mika and a Tekkadan crew did a damn good job of making him feel like someone out there might just understand, but there was no way he was going to saddle them with all the goings on of his own war. They shared the common shackles of having gone through struggle, both to live and to simply thrive, and there was no revoking that. Even if they'd only shared shreds of their experience in life, it was more than he'd managed to share with most people around here. Even if he was sure as untouched snow that absolutely no one here could know him and his past, there's no revoking a former gundam pilot's paranoia about being recognized, being known, all those consequences...
He's just plain unwilling to accept all of those, and so he keeps to himself, mostly. Social enough, but not nearly as social and sharing as he could be.
However, when Mipha mentions once, in passing, probably thru text message, that another person she'd known from home had left... a little plan sprouts in that only at times brilliant mind.
- - So Duo proposes a camp out. It might do them both well to just get out of their respective cities for a little while and simply enjoy the woods and everything that went along with it. He'd even offered to take on packing their foods and drinks, which happens to include a little bit of bubbly because he thinks Mipha could use more of that, honestly.
Relaxation, time for herself instead of serving other people. All the things that Duo, really, never found himself doing.
They've hiked in to where they'd decided to call it, and Duo has finally decided the tent is secured enough when he pokes his head out of the front -
"Any luck with the fire Mipha? Isn't like we'll freeze to death but these damn bugs, man.."
A true space boy who hates bugs. What a good camping partner.

But he's not wrong. It's definitely a second chance and she nods slowly as she considers it. "Yes, that's true. A second chance... And one I don't want to waste." She holds up her cup a little towards him, as if in a toast.
"To living our lives to the fullest?"

"Yeah.. it's a sad dog standing in a puddle. We'll pass it along month to month." He laughs lightly, a toothy smile crossing his face rather quickly, another sip of his alcohol down. This place was oddly lonely, even if he'd contented himself with the others being here just not... here. He could go visit them in their tubes but it wasn't quite the same as a lively conversation with Quatre or annoying the living hell out of Wufei for the fun of it.
He blinks for a moment as she offers up the toast, snapping him out of his thoughts. He nods, putting his glass up with a smile and tapping it against hers gently.
"Don't chug it. I have a feeling we're in dangerous territory right now." ... He says before filling his mouth totally with alcohol and swallowing.
