Standing at attention as Head Instructor Corvo spoke, Xerox did not listen to the man for the most part. He did think it was unfortunate that the defenders of Dollet were massacred due to the surprise invasion, but the important details were going to be handled by Duncan. As a pair of airships came down, Xerox's eyes glinted with interest. If he had the funding, he would easily build one he believed. One of a grander scale as well. Once Corvo had left, and out of earshot, Duncan heaved a sigh. At that moment, Xerox relaxed and went closer to the airships.

Hearing Duncan ask about questions, Xerox asked a number of things. "How much are these? What's the material? What kind of engine is it using? Are there blueprints for this somewhere?" It was the way Xerox was. Always curious about machines and technology. He didn't get to ride something like this to get to Balamb Garden from Trabia Garden. Rue pulled Xerox away from the air ship as he was tapping against parts of it, listening for it's structure. "Ah, sorry about bombarding you with questions like that. Just one question, how much are these airships?" Xerox wanted a figure to see how much funding he would need for something like that.
