I could say something truly profound and witty about how it's a sad day that a pirate has to keep a man of the law from going against the very laws that he upholds

I'll thank you not to view everyone like that, Balthier. I'm merely trying to ascertain the truth.

[clean_cuffs]

The truth can be ascertained soon enough with the good Captain's revival. It isn't as though those in question have anywhere to run.

[staticnotsound]

Same old same old, then?

Let me know if I can lend a hand, Balthier.

[clean_cuffs]

If you could, spare a moment for Mjrn and Larsa. Larsa particularly as he is quite new.

Ashe as well. She's strong but this will be hard on her.

[staticnotsound]

I'll do what I can.

[clean_cuffs]

...

Thank you.

Really.

[prodigal_axe]

Same thing I usually say.

People are such idiots. I can't even handle how ridiculous this shit is.

[clean_cuffs]

No point in dwelling on rubbish.

[prodigal_axe]

You're right about that.

[embracethewaves]

Balthier...

Um. Want some company?

It would be appreciated.

[He's inside the lobby of the hospital. He hasn't gone far in the bowels of this hell, but there's no particular need to. Not yet. Basch has only been dead a few hours.

He looks oddly stoic and worn, perhaps from the restless fighting over the past few days, only to lose a friend and companion at the tail end of it all. It was an odd thing to see Balthier lacking his charming grin and easy-going demeanor.]

[There might be a moment of hesitation...but it's not enough to stop her. Umi's nothing if not strong-willed, even when her legs are sore and her bruises are still fresh. She arrives quietly and steps through the doorway.

It's always hard to know what to say. "I'm sorry for your loss" might have been appropriate back home, but was it really a loss if they came back?

That doesn't make things any better. Just more confusing, more scary, more hurtful. So instead she offers the smallest of smiles, wavering and uncertain and sympathetic but still hardly there.]

Hi.

[He hears her before he sees her and the tentative tone of voice gives him good reason to at least soften his darkened expression.]

Evening Umi.

[He manages a smile and takes in the young lady. She looks as worn as the rest of the inhabitants of Discedo]

How have you been faring?

[clean_cuffs]

Back to your senses?

Lord Larsa claimed he would be near the broken fountain, am I correct?

[Audio]

[clean_cuffs]

Last I heard. He's been running since.
