One day Balthier was walking in Balfonheim, the place where the pirates all live. Fran was too busy living with the Viera again because they all got along ok. So Balthier was all by himself because Fran was mean and Ashe was stuck up and Penelo was too young for him. He needed a new girlfriend.
So he walked into the magic shop and saw a really pretty girl. She had long golden hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall of hair. Her bangs framed her face and she had blue eyes that were like sapphires and shone like they were infused with mako. Turns out this girl had actually fallen into Ivalice from teh Final Fantasy 7 world, but Balthier didn't know that. So he went up to the counter.
"Hi, you are very very pretty, what is your name?"
The girl giggled and twirled a strand of her shiny flaxen hair around her delicate finger. "My name is Elorissa Rose Delorean. Can I sell you a magic scroll?"
Balthier was beside himself. Her voice was like an angel's song, and he wanted more than a magic scroll from her. "Elorissa, that is a beautiful name. I've never heard a prettier name. Your parents must have known you were going to be hot."
Elorissa Rose laughed. "No, silly. Elorissa Rose, if you don't mind. I like my full name."
"Ok, that's cool." Balthier said. "Can I ask you on a date? I am a sky pirate and you can come visit me on my airhsip."
Elorissa Rose smiled. "Really? I would like that very much."
"You can't just leave in the middle of your shift," a new voice said, one that was nearly as melodical and magical as Elorissa Rose's had been, only a bit lower and sparkling with power . Balthier looked up as a beautiful girl rounded the corner, long shimmering waves trickling down her back like a cascade of cool water; they were so black they sparkled violet. He was surprised to see that the tendrils of beautiful raven hair almost hid the soft pointing of her ears- he had never seen an elf before, but he was overcome with emotion. (A/N: she's totally from Rivendell but he doesn't know yet!!)
"Oh, please," Elorissa pouted. When her lower lip stuck out, she looked ethereal. "He was going to show me his airship."
"That's right," Balthier said, giving both girls his best smirk. "I am a sky pirate, after all."
"Oh," the elf-girl giggled. "Well then. I want to go see the airship, too!"
"Well ladies," Balthier said, grinning again. "There is enough of me for both of you, since you are both smokin'."
Darn! Elorissa Rose thought. Shown up by the elf again!
