Teamwork

Balthier truly loved Fran's hidden skills.

When he lacked the sufficient sum of gil to buy himself the newest gun, or needed no more than a few hundred to fill their bags with remedies, he would turn to her and she would step up to the closest rich man and smile. Said man would then drop to his knees, kiss the claws of her high-heels and give her his wallet.

Though this time, it was different.

He was alone.

At least what concerned money. Vaan wasn't the most generous character in the group. And Balthier didn't think the flirting tactic would work.

But... The new gun. It was a beauty, where it lay beneath thick glass, placed in soft, crimson silk. Contrasting against the dark wood of the Salika and absolutely shining in the badly-lit shop. If he hadn't been exactly where he was -between a curious bangaa and a thief that he more or less lived with- he would have cooed to the gun as a lover would to their beloved.

...

'Made from the best gemsteel, wood from a special tree in the Golmore and also, the finest craftsmanship all over Ivalice!'

Nnn...

Vaan might not have the curved beauty of a woman, but it sure was worth a shot.

"Vaan, could I ask you to do something for me?"

"Um... Sure, I guess. What do you want?"

Soon, Balthier had all the gil he needed.
