Balthus von Albrecht of FE3H penned by Maggie. Here to kick some ass and earn some gold... and I'm all outta gold. thank you sara so much for the pinned gfx!!!! <3 HE IS A FLIRT. I'M SORRY. NOTHING HE SAYS IS SERIOUS, NOR IS IT MEANT TO BE SHIPPY OR PRESSURE-Y. I likely will discuss with people beforehand if it's relevant to what's happening, or if it makes you uncomfy, absolutely feel free to tell me that you'd rather not I address anything of that manner.

“Oh, yeah! Red hair, real skinny? I remember that guy. We don’t seem like we’d have a lot in common- was the type of guy that wasn’t all too interested in coming around for a bit of training. Y’know what, though? That’s all right. Different strokes for different folks”

“Looks like a smart fella! I can punch my way through anything, that doesn’t take too much in the way of brain power. I like it better that way— all hot-blooded instinct. But for the people that are tricky, calculated, and have that sharp wit to play their cards right…. they’re the scariest ones of all on the battlefield.”

“Already a million steps ahead of ya and they haven’t even traded blows with ya yet. Hah!”

“…. I did wanna ask him about what he uses in his hair. Now, my luscious locks are pretty much au naturel, mind you— but a man can’t help but want to keep his mane in tip top shape.”

#;asks #support: salem #extenebris #// balthus vc his hair is very pretty from one bro to another #// I think they would have a very funny dynamic LMAOOO #// I almost typed fart smella like 4 times

t0bey

felt like doodling balthus from when he was actually enrolled at the officers academy lol

#// oh my god LMAOOO #// this is awesome

there’s no preamble to it. yuri steps idly up to balthus’ side like they’ve been there the whole time and offers, “room’s yours again for a few days. just don’t scare off bernadetta.” a sideways glance at him, a shrug to punctuate, and then finally further elaboration, “heading off on that big trip everyone can’t stop chattering about.”

really, at face value, there isn’t any reason to worry. but if yuri had a nickel for every church mission escalated far beyond their pay grade, they’d be swimming in enough gold to retire in seclusion. they can take care of themself just fine, but...

well. it’s not abyss they worry about leaving. hers are a resilient people—it won’t crumble without them there to hold up its foundations for a few days. but in recent moons, her halls have become more than just their jail or their repentance.

they pinch their eyes shut and exhale. that’s the problem, isn’t it, with having a heart? it’s aelfric’s problem too—too wrapped up in that sticky conscience of his to see what’s been beneath his nose all along. luckily, yuri’s not so blind and all they’ve ever had on offer to show for care is a sharp tongue. hard to get tripped up on that when it’s too busy giving other people their lashings. “don’t get into any trouble you can’t dig yourself out of before i’m back, yeah? and you’re ‘boss’ until i return—and i better still have a gang to return to.”

keep them safe, yuri means but never says. and, most importantly, keep yourself safe too.

Oh, yeah, tall order man! Bernadetta seems to break out into hysterics every time he comes around, but... anything for boss, he supposes. With a bark of laughter and a sheepish shrug of his shoulders, Balthus can do nothing but try his best to watch over the people that Yuri cares about. It's what he would do whether he was asked to or not, but the fact that boss trusts him enough to say it... Well, he's thankful. Not something he'll take for granted. "'Course not, boss. You gotta bring your ol' pal Balthus back somethin' shiny from that island, you hear me?" A hearty pat to their shoulder is a little bit harder than he intends, jostling both of them with the movement. "That means I gotta stay outta trouble so I can get my gift. You've got nothin' to worry about! I'll make sure my head stays low just for now." It's not just for himself, though. Balthus's expression hardens just a bit as his fingers dig into the cloth on Yuri's shoulder, brows furrowing and jaw clenching slightly. "Hey. Yuri... I know it's supposed to be some kinda festival, but be careful, alright? People here... they need you. The wolves need you. And your bash bro Balthus here needs you too." He sounds like a fool sending his comrade off to war, but sometimes, that's what it feels like with how quickly missions from the Church can go south. The Ashen Wolves are no strangers to rough circumstances, but Balthus hates that he's not going to be there to throw himself into the fray alongside Yuri. "Take care of yourself, boss. On my life, I got things covered here. Nobody's gonna lay a finger on the others, Bernadetta... or anything here in Abyss. I'll make sure she feels at home." Enough sentimentality, it's bad luck before a mission. Finally pulling away, Balthus holds his fist out for a bump, grinning like the unshakeable King that he is. "See ya later, bro."

#;asks #support: yuri #aubins #// crying for 8000000000 YEARS #// TRUSTING BALTHUS TO BE BOSS OUUUUUUUHHHHHGUUUHGHGHH #// its true balthus would take a million bullets for anyone int he wolves or abyss or important to the others

"Y'know, Hapi doesn't really wear her heart on her sleeve or anything like that. I think she's kinda hard to read sometimes, and there's days where she's prickly-- but in the end, I think she deserves it. Can't imagine what it's like to have people treat you with kiddie gloves just 'cuz they're afraid of what you can do. That, and the assumption that she doesn't have control over her own talents..." "In the end, there's been plenty of times Hapi coulda left me for dead. I'm not her responsibility. But... despite that, she's stuck her neck out for me a couple times. She watches my back, and I watch hers; and, well.... I think she's a good friend of mine. Whether that's returned or not doesn't particularly matter, because she's stuck with me. Hahaha!" "She's got a good heart. A good head on her shoulders. Life ain't been kind to those of us in Abyss, but she keeps goin'. Truth be told, I admire her. I'll make sure that one day she gets to sigh all she wants with nothin' to worry about, trust me."

#;asks #support: hapi #haaapi #// MUY FUCKYWOLVES #// THEY ARE SO FAMBLY #// thats little sister right there

"I'm not personally all that close to her, but... boss cares about her a lot. At least, I hope they do, considerin' MY room is now HERS-- but the bottom line is that if they care, I care. If that's part of Yuri's crowd, she's part of mine too; I've got her back. Nobody's gonna mess with her as long as I'm around... I know Yuri would do the same thing for me if the places were swapped." "She's cute in that kinda little sister way. Not sure why she seems to be so scared of everyone and everything, but it's not my business. I just wish she wouldn't be so terrified of me-- me! Lil ol' Balthus! I'd never hurt her, I swear!" "People like that, though... they tug on my heart a little. If I can put myself between her and whatever trouble's brewin' on the horizon, I'm alright with it. There's nothin' I can't bulldoze my way through-- I'll take a couple hits if it means she'll be safe and boss will be happy."

#;asks #support: bernadetta #hermidetta #// balthus is so fiercely loyal to the wolves and hes very much a guy of a friend of my friend is my friend too #// there are no lengths he wouldnt go to to protect someone close to hapi constance or yuri #// hes built like a tank and he knows it. taking a few hits for someone his family loves is nothing #// the low trust is because of his room #// sorry girl

♡ hello baltieeeee

"It's only recently that I've started seein' more people show up with features like his-- there was the guy with the sick lookin' bird wings... and now this kid with the fox ears and the little tail! Kinda makes me want to walk over there and ruffle his hair; maybe that's just the instinct of an older brother, heh!" "He's kinda got this face that makes me think he's a little shit. I mean that in the best of ways, of course- I was the same way when I was a kid. Always in some kinda trouble. Nobody could tame THIS beast!"

#;asks #support: uka #natsukoi #// the affection + trust + attraction is because balthus thinks hes such a cute lil thang #// its the cain instinct but like not murderous intent

♡ i swear to god

"I've never been much of a religious man, if I had to be honest with you. The Church has its own agenda and I'm not really too keen on gettin' caught up in it-- I've got enough on my plate as it is. However..." "When I saw her? Kinda thought that I'd died, maybe. One of the first times I poke my head up top and I see a woman that beautiful? Surely I just tripped and fell down the stairs and broke my neck on the way down. That sharp tongue, that glare she shoots at me that just sends a shiver down my spine... Damn! I'm convinced she's an angel, albeit one that could easily kick my ass and throw me in a trashcan." "Maybe I'm a fool for givin' her the benefit of the doubt-- she wouldn't actually kill me. Right? Right??? Sometimes a girl's just gotta beat up on the guy she likes. I'll gladly be her punchin' bag if that's the case. It means her hands are on me one way or another, ha ha! No pain, no gain!"

"... Think if she hits me hard enough, I can ask for her to kiss it better?"

#;asks #support: lachesis #landsbluod #// the trust is only low because he thinks she is fully capable of killing him and isnt quite sure if she would or not #// otherwise he has heart eyes

Tapping a piece of chalk on a dilapidated blackboard, Balthus motions to a line of x's that sit behind the name: BLACK EAGLES. "Keeps happenin'. Anyways, Dorothea... I've seen her around here and there, heard a couple rumors. I don't really care about what others got to say about her, because in the end: that's my judgment to make. A man can't just go along with someone's word that may or may not be right! She's a gorgeous lady, and I'll give her the respect she deserves, thank ya very much." "Heard she's a former singer... but you know what? I could've guessed that. Now you ask me: how would you even begin to know that, Balthus? Well, Miss Dorothea's makin' MY heart sing, so that counts for something." "Thing is, types like that, they've got a long line of people waitin' for a chance to snatch her for a date. My years in the nobility, the past situations with my mom... I'm not blind to those sorts of things. That just means I'll have to show all these other chumps up and show her what a real King looks like!"

#;asks #support: dorothea #encantresse #// hearing rumors about thea and how people speak of her would make him frown i think #// specifically because his mama got treated so bad by nobility and hes seen the bad sides of that too #// ON MY MAMA WE AINT GONNA LET MISS THEA BE DISRESPECTED NOW

♡ they’ve never met but I need the vibes 🙏

"I'm not the type of guy to go snoopin' around in another man's business. But I do have one singular question about him, and I'm wonderin' if there's anyone else at the Monastery that would have any idea to the answer." "That cloak of his. Looks a little suspicious, right?" As if Balthus himself doesn't look suspicious running around with only half of a jacket on. "The long hair, the kinda surly lookin' face... I've got a theory. And my theory is:..." "Is he a vampire? Anyone know? Kinda thinkin' about walking around with garlic in my pockets. To be safe."

#;asks #support: michalis #reverenceofmacedon #// i actually don't know anything about michalis but in my head he looked like a vampire #// fine ass man but balthus wont say that!!!!!#// me maggie i am saying it

"... Y'know, pal, I might be considerin' transferring to the Black Eagles. I don't know what the Adrestians have in the water, but whatever it is, it's bringing every single drop dead gorgeous woman to work in their house. Now, that's not to say the other houses don't have their fair share of lookers, alright..." "But her? Man. Somethin' about her has me wanting to chase her down and beg on my hands and knees for her to let me take her out JUST once. JUST ONCE! Her hair looks so soft, and the way she smiles..." Balthus sighs dreamily, shaking his head. "Girls are nice. But WOMEN are better. And boy, she's a damn fine woman; she looks like she doesn't even belong in this world! Like.. an angel, or somethin'. Think I should ask her if it hurt when she fell from the clouds? Or if she needs a knight in shining armor to accompany her? Because baby, that can be me. Let ol' Balthus here work some magic."

#;asks #support: deidre #nagaficat #// i'm slowly getting to all these LMAO sorry for the delay balthus has so many

♡ hey one more time

"Oh that Black Eagles professor? Sheeeeeeeeeesh! You picked a good one to bring up, didn't ya?" "Y'see, I don't know much about Professor Yunaka yet. I know one of the most important things though: she can beat me up. She's badass. There's somethin' real sexy about a woman who could kill me in a heartbeat, and I'd say thanks, probably. What, you don't get it? Tch. Well, maybe one day you'll understand, pal." "I've heard her say somethin' about 'hiya papaya' before, and I figure she likes puns. So, listen, I've got this idea... hit her with the line: -- If you were a pineapple, I'd call you a fine-apple! Hahahaha! Good, right? No way she resists these charms." He flexes for good measure. "These charms too. Can't forget those."

#;asks #support: yunaka #dcggersedge #// i hate him can you please just stab him #// beat his ass up

♡ no pressure since they havent met i just like seeing him

"Hold it, pal!" There's a roadblock in front of Zasha that happens to be named Balthus-- wide, tall, and insurmountable in plenty of ways... but especially in the manner that his finger is jabbed in the other's direction, a single brow raised. "... Those things real?" Of course, to make his words clearer, he mimics the flapping of wings with his hands. "Oh, right. Didn't mean to scare ya or anything-- that's just... AWESOME! Can you fly? How's it feel? Is it easy to fight with 'em...?" Were he less excited and enthused, maybe he'd feel bad for the barrage of questions. Now, however: "D'ya think your wings would win, or my fists? Make a bet, friend-- you're up against Fodlan's Finest- The King of Grappling!"

#;asks #support: zasha #deflere #// he embarrasses me to no end #// he a little confused but he got the spirit

A man's instincts aren't something to be ignored, and Balthus has found that they've served him well for the most part. Maybe it's because this guy's smile feels like it goes right through him, even when there's nothing outright to suggest he's gonna try anything weird. It's not fair to base everything off of a first impression, though, and Balthus smacks his fist into an open palm with a deep breath. "Heya, pal! You lookin' a little antsy there." Twitching? Jerky? Not sure. Seems like some extra energy. "Wanna burn some of the nerves off with a run? I always find that sorta thing helps a lot. That, or just dukin' it out with my fists in the training arena. Nothing gets the blood pumpin' like a good ol' fight does!" Errr, is that what he really wants to get into with this dude, though? Whatever. Balthus wouldn't back down from a challenge. "But, uh, any reason why you kinda.... look like you might eat me?"

#;asks #support: valter #knighteclipsed #// i read your muse page and i busted out laughing when i read he twitches #// balthus like mmmmmmmmmm strange but ok!#// we can still be friends! i think! please don't be as erial killer

Oh, wowza. Wowee! Goddess heavens above. They're feedin' the professors something different out here at the monastery, because what do you mean this is the second one he's seen that is absolutely divine from head to toe? Mature, elegant, a woman that seems to know what she's doin'... Checks every box. Dots every 'i'. And, well, a powerful woman deserves the world and more-- good for her, Balthus is capable of carrying all of that and extra. "Hey, Miss? Yeah, uh, sorry to interrupt..." Whatever it is she's doing. Anything? Nothing? Doesn't matter. Baltie's got stars in his eyes and an arrow through his heart. Oh! "Mind if I ask if you're a mage of some kind? Cuz you're kinda settin' my heart on fire right now." A wink. A click of the tongue. And a quick finger gun at her for the finisher on his approach. "Think I can earn a bit of your time to take a walk around?"

#;asks #support: selena #fluxrspar #// i really think he deserves to get tazed by lightning magic

"Hey, lil man!" Oh. He looks a little mean, but there's nothing that Balthus can't handle from a guy that's like... half his size. "Give me a high-five? Up top? Er..." Leaning over makes sense, hand held within Rafal's general reach with a dopey grin. Can't have the poor guy trying to jump to make it. "You're a student too, huh? At least, that's what I'm guessin'. If that's the case... we gotta hit up the training grounds together sometime." He's skinny. A quick once-over gives him the impression he needs, a firm nod following. "You kinda look like the mage type, yeah? Dunno if I could see you haulin' an axe over your head... we can still make some training work out, though. Whaddya say, pal?"
