[She sounds happy and rather cheery, a hint of exhaustion in her voice] Balthier! Meet me down at the docks in about ten minutes! I have a surprise for you that will make up for me being gone the past week!

Good day, Balthier. Why, pray tell, is mum calling me at four in the morning over here to tell me about her wonderful grandson? Is Albanion staying with them for the time being or something similar?
He's doing well, if you're curious. Mum and Father both enjoy having him there. Father's teaching him how to fix and run a chainsaw.

Luxord! Yes, Albanion is staying with your parents while Fran and I go out on a little hero mission for old time's sake, before the old girl gets too big for the fun things.
Don't tell her I said that...
Anyway, what's this about your dad teaching him to fix and run a... wait, a chainsaw? ARE YOU MAD?! GET THAT THING AWAY FROM HIM! HE'S ALREADY GOT THE MAKINGS OF A YOUNG TERRORIST! On your father's head be it!

Ah. That's fine, then. Mum said she'd be more than happy to keep an eye on him for you. I bet he's found your old porn stash by now.
And I won't tell her, but she's coming along well, I hope?
There is nothing wrong with knowing how to run a chainsaw! And I'm not the mad one, it's Father's decision to trust him with power tools and things of that nature. He won't be able to sneak up on you in the middle of the night, anyway, as chainsaws are not stealthy in the slightest. Just give him a chance, won't you?

If he's found my porn, I don't know if I'll be proud of him for it or want to beat him for touching my porn...
Of course. It's her friend we're off to rescue, after all. I'm the tag-along to protect the Strahl!
I've given him lots of chances, but the boy hates us and I truly wish he didn't. He genuinely is that bitter, but I'm hoping that he'll trust us eventually...

The only reason I'm texting instead of calling is I know you're more likely to check your text messages than your voice mail when you're at the theatre.
You need to come home. Now. It's Luxord... he was shot. Aeris says he's in Intensive Care and they don't know if he's going to survive. You should be with him...

[He lets out a sigh. Something is troubling him.] Balthier, I've got bad news. You know how mum still thinks of you as her little Ffamran... Somehow she found out your alias. She wants to know who this "Balthier scoundrel" is, in her own words, and she'd like to know now. She won't stop pestering me about it, and she's already asked both Ms Fran and Miss Rikku about who you are! [There is a pause.] It gets worse, Bal. Father wants to know as well, and he requests a Talk with us soon. I have the distinct feeling this might not end well for either one of us. Well, it was nice knowing you, if we both end up dead.

Come now, Luxord, I've been hounded by the best of the Archadian army and I should fear your mother and father?
I plan to tell them that Balthier is an alias. I'm going to explain everything to them in a calm and collected manner. I honestly struggle to believe that they weren't aware of this before...
My past isn't something you were actively involved in, and you didn't make my choices for me. This is entirely on my own head and I'll be sure to assert that to them. Can't have you dead with your wedding soon now, can we?
Have no fear. It will all work out.

They're somewhat yours, too. They treat you like their son, certainly.
No, they weren't at all! We don't receive much news from Ivalice in our newspapers and broadcasts, so they've no idea what you were up to.
I suppose not...and they won't have you killed so close to your birthday. They said they had a big surprise for you this year, whether you're in trouble or not.
