"Jesus Christ -" Duo spooks badly, as does every gundam pilot, turning with a wrench in hand and ready to swing with it before he registers the familiar voice. Of course Heero would be the only one able to scale the mobile suit's leg gracefully enough to spook him as he straddles the Gundam's knee mechanisms, blue eyes a bit wild as he turns. Typically Duo might not be so jumpy, might mock Heero a little and roll his eyes and continue on, but..
Well, he'll have to update Heero sometime. Between being kidnapped and tortured by Shamans, and now this fight against Yservrai, Duo is a bit wiley and on edge, like he would have been in the throws of the war between Earth and Space, even if this was a completely different universe and a completely different set of stakes if he failed with his mission. He slumps as his body and mind register at the same time that Heero's there - defrosted again for however long he chose to hang out this time, and instead throws a bit of the muck backward and toward Heero over his shoulder with an irritated little noise. He's terrible for this and he knows it, slogging what's probably blood and rotted flesh from the dragon at a guy who's just woken up but..
He should be fast enough to dodge. "So you're done being a popsicle again, huh?" Is the next question, almost boorish in his tone, chucking the next slog of nastiness down to the side and on to the Natha's floor. They could clean that shit up considering the fight he's just been through.
"It happens when you take on a literal rotting dragon corpse."
tbh i'd be shocked if he didn't
