Duo ignores them. He saw out the corner of his eye the white glove covering her lips. He had been told in under twelve hours ago that he was no ENGAGED! How the hell was he expected to act. Humble and accepting??? No! He was NOT going to be either those things about this. He looks at her again. "Ditto. I suppose." he says grudgingly yet respectfully. He looks at her. "What the hell was that?" he says in confusion at curtsy.<br/><br/>He turns his attention to the Emperor. He scowls. "I have no ill will to you either Emperor...but I must debate this topic with you." he says. Crossing his arms. "That IS being respectful. If my old man ever thought to be respectful to me...I'd return the favor." he says it in a diplomatic way. And then says. "So the answer to that is...." he pauses. "...no."<br/><br/>He blinks and looks to Clara like she was crazy. "What are you doing?" he asks in a skeptical yet grumpy whisper that only she would hear. He blinks. She was confusing yet he was still angry over this whole situtation.
