Are you well, Balthier?

That sounded as if it hurt.

[clean_cuffs]

Come in here and I'll show you if I'm well or not.

[captain_basch]

[So Basch wanders to find Balthier, Balthier will notice that the good Captain is nicely trimmed up now. Guess what Basch found this morning?]

You sound well enough.

[Already bent over a large ream of paper, scribbling down designs wildly. He doesn't look up because it's Balthier and when airships are involved, they have his undivided attention. He holds up a sky stone. It's actually decent.]

There aren't many things to work with but that's fine. If I make her small I'll be able to maximize her speed, and take-off.

[And Balthier is in his own little personal heaven. It involves a lot of engines.]

[dynast_daughter]

Balthier?

Are you alright?

[clean_cuffs]

I am better than alright.

Well, aside from what is most likely a mild concussion...

But that isn't important! Ashe, have you run across any decent scrap metal while on a supply run recently?

[dynast_daughter]

Of course it's important-

Scrap metal? Well, yes, there are quite a few mismatched machine parts by the church, but I am curious, Balthier - why would you suddenly need those?

[clean_cuffs]

Scrap metal is more important. I better go salvage what I can before that becomes junk.

Tools... I'm going to need decent tools if I'm going to build her from scratch...

[onceahuman]

Next time, you should wear a helmet.

[clean_cuffs]

Glad to see you're not moping anymore. Had an epiphany, Miss Mona?

Oh yes, very important question! Have you seen any bits of scrap metal or tools for working with metal?

[onceahuman]

Maybe I did.

Ask me again when I'm not stuck inside the clinic?
