Or more of a gentleman xD

[He nods once, satisfied. Viera were not prone to lying, and Fran even less so. Not that he thought she couldn't handle herself if they had attempted something--quite the opposite. But it wasn't easy sneaking up on two sky pirates, and yet somehow the imps had managed to do just that.]

All the more reason for us not to linger. This feast won't last forever, and I'd rather not be here when it ends.

[And he certainly had no intention of becoming a soldier.

He looks around the room in thought. Even if they did escape this place, where could they go? Ivalice seemed like a long way off, and he didn't even know which direction they would have to go in order to return there.

Well, one step at a time.]

Did you sense anything when they brought you?

[hear_the_wood]

[Balthier sounds as if he thinks the monarchs throw the feast only to fatten them up before they eat the guests. Who knows, it could be true, but it's amusing to compare the whole thing to a child's tale.]

Only the working of powerful magicks. It is beyond my ability. It stirs over much here. At times, I sense it more keenly than others.

[But it is still there, none-the-less.]

Nothing here feels of home. I do not know it.

[She fears they are much farther from home than either of them can guess.]

[no_fates]

In other words, any attempts of a return may just prove futile.

[He expresses the concern with a small annoyed sigh, but that's the extent of it. It didn't do to dwell too much on what couldn't be changed, and there was certainly no use wasting energy by getting angry about it.

He stretches, raising his arms up and back before letting them drop to his sides.]

Well, if this is to be our fate, we might as well make the best of it.

[A splotch of dirt catches his eye on the corner of his sleeve--no doubt from being dragged in a sack. He licks his thumb and sets to rubbing it out.]

Extravagant banquets, fine dignitaries. Must be something of value concealed behind these walls.

[hear_the_wood]

[Extravagant indeed. She's a little surprised by all the fuss that's been given a bunch of people who were just kidnapped. Though Fran can't resist plucking a ripe looking strawberry from a tray and biting into it.]

Something to set us on our way, perhaps.

[If they're going to secure a foothold in this world of any kind, they'll need leverage. Money. Something to get them out on their own.]

But this is not Rabanastre. Punishment for stealing may be greater than Nalbina's dungeons.

[no_fates]

It wouldn't be worthwhile if there wasn't some risk involved. We'll just be sure not to get caught. Should be easy enough.

[He smirks as he finishes getting the last remnants of the dirt off. He readjusts his sleeve into its proper position before looking up at her once more.]

Might be a good idea to procure some weapons though. Who knows what might be lurking in the shadows? Best to go prepared, no matter where we end up.

[hear_the_wood]

Let us hope our search results in some then.

[Or that they don't encounter a situation where they might need to use them. Though going against monarchs with this type of power is probably an idea, they have had worse and come out of it.

Fran has confidence in him. As much confidence as Balthier has in himself, if not more.]
