One day people claimed to be allies, only to be dropped for the most petty of things, then warfare was inevitable and the next thing you know people are getting captured, murdered, and tortured on both sides. Politics were never a thing Des had ever been a fan of, not even when he held his own leader position so long ago. There were too many nuances and small exceptions to his liking, and his naturally distrustful nature made it impossible for allies to attempt anything without him sniffing out trouble where it likely didn't even lie.
That's why it was a good thing he had yet to rise up the ranks here. People with a more stable viewpoint would have more power and say as to what would happen, as, for example, Vandal. He approached the duo, an easy smile pressed to his lips despite the sharpness in his gaze when his eyes settled on Prestige. It was bold of him to instantly state that they'd likely be enemies, especially outnumbered, but he was less angry than he was concerned for the guy's well being. He couldn't trust his crewmates not to get violent, as already evidenced a few times.
Therefore, he'd try to be as polite as possible.
"Noted. It's a good thing to be powerful, though everyone needs friends sometimes, especially among so many enemies. Anything we can do to get you to vouch for us?" he didn't know what the Typhoon could reasonably offer in return, but it was worth asking, if only to further the conversation so that Pincher didn't have to do all the work once he came over.
