[ Well, he had one thing going in his favor: He had a hell of a lot more sense than her own two to three idiots.
Sakura felt a small sense of relief when he agreed without fuss, and maybe a tiny bit of guilt for fussing. Maybe she'd grown too accustomed to hearing such talk from Naruto and Sasuke, but clearly Alfonse had a better head on his shoulders.
