I'm not surprised, but I'm glad you've already told him about that.

[That'll make things a little easier on Duke, at least. Yeager tips his head a bit before finally shrugging.]

I can't say I agree, obviously, but everything turned out fine in the end. I doubt everyone here will taking hearing a secret like that well, so if anyone gives you any problems you come to me. I won't let anything happen to you, Duke.

[He's serious when he says it, of course.]
