“Sorry, I had some things to deal with..” Duke says, sheepishly. A part of him is hoping he did not just miss out a patrol with her, but the other part of him knows he just did.

He’s sorry, and even if it doesn’t seem like it, he really is. He’s been trying for this relationship, pretty hard.

He is very aware he is not really the best partner, always missing out patrols and dates with you. He either ditches you or just comes really late. He’s been working on himself and trying to arrive right on time, he swears.

“Let me make it up to you, I’ll get us some movie tickets— or anything you want!” This time, he’ll make things right. Like he says every other day.
