[ As is always the case for Yzak, he pays full attention when it comes to anything Dearka says, regardless of where it starts or where it goes. Though this sort of talk is miles ahead of what he prefers to hear over how the start of this went with his laughing and teasing. (but really, even those moments are something that Yzak couldn't imagine being without, so used to and fond is he to every side of his best friend)

And the subject at hand clearly keeps Yzak locked in, curious gaze not even breaking when that cat, polite as it is, loafs on the chair next to him and dares to close the distance a little more after rubbing against the Lieutenant Colonel's hand, now resting it's chin on his knee.

He looks impressed. ]

That's a really good idea.

I don't mind the guys back at the base looking over the Duel, but it's as you said. They're clearly not as familiar with our mobile suit technology, so half the time I have to stay there with them to make sure they don't screw something up by mistake. I don't mind doing that, but I am admittedly still apprehensive to leave things entirely to them.

[ He tips the cup just slightly in Dearka's direction. ] I wouldn't have to worry about any of that, if it was you.
