❛ oh? ❜
balthier draws out the single syllable, voice dropping two pitches, grin a slow burn of his mouth, one corner lifting to reveal just a peek of white teeth. he means to charm her, obviously, just as he’s charmed the other mindless soldiers, nothing but arrogance in the loose lines of his body, in the way he swings the prison key around his pointer finger, smiling, taunting.
❛ & how exactly do you plan on going about that? ❜
❝ y-yeah, i’ll show you--- wait, huh?!❞
it’s not the matter of charming her because he’s cool, sure. but she’s dealt with guys like him a ton in her high school. honestly? she’s a little sick of the suave personality. but instead, it’s the gold that shines and spins around his finger as if he owns it.
❝ give those back, balthier! those are mine, you thief! ❞
