Truth for once.

There are things I must confess because I can't seem to keep it all inside. I am probably going to wake up in the morning and regret not chucking this blasted thing out the window when I had the chance

This saved me from telling you what I truly thought of you.

My thanks, Balthier.

[clean_cuffs]

Always happy to be of service, much as I say otherwise.

[captain_basch]

At least someone is. Twould be nice to not be under someone's service.

[clean_cuffs]

Ever loyal, the Ronsenburg hounds.

Admirable.

[covered_wars]

Sounds like you got a lot of skeletons in your closet, pal.

[clean_cuffs]

I wish they would stay there.

[doctorcidolfus]

So, you too have been afflicted by this strange fog.

Normally, I would say it was related to the weakness of your will, however, it would be a lie to do so... And I'm apparently incapable of doing so at this particular moment.

I will not deny I do enjoy being right, however, I wish it were not so in this case. You were a promising child, and I truly had placed all my hope in you. When you ran...

I only pushed you because I thought you were capable of handling the responsibility, that you understood our goal as well as I.

I suppose so long as we are forced to speak the truth - I am relieved to know that I am not the only soul you felt no regret in killing.

[clean_cuffs]

Everyone has.

Can't you go pester Gabranth or something?

[doctorcidolfus]

Of course. I'm sure that wasting your life is quite time consuming.

...

You are no coward, Balthier. And I am, at present, unable to lie.

With regard to 'brooding over the past', I am equally as guilty... if not moreso.

[clean_cuffs]

Hmm...

It's so easy to see the faults in others that we see in ourselves.

Ashe, I'm glad you're here.

[dynast_daughter]

That may be, but those faults play a part in making us who we are, whether we wish it or not.

I... I cannot imagine being here without you, Balthier.
