For those who think we are claiming sheer cowardice when we say they might have ducked griffith, thats not how it is.
At this level, where everything will be forgotten after march, Cael may have decided its stupid to give a dangerous guy like Griffith 3 feels on starocci. I don't care if you don't think thats the case in this instance, but all these guys think like this and they all do it on occasion.
