Sleep:
Selene slipped into the Pirate's room using a Silence spell to hide her presence. A quick look around told her his Viera friend was either gone for the time being or rooming somewhere else. She hoped the later, it would have her more time. She passed a quick glance at the Sky Pirate, he was dead sleeping. Good... Selene started going through the room. It was here she knew it!
He let out a noise and shifted, drawing her attention back. Selene had to fight a giggle, what a pose! He was sleeping all stretched out, chest and stomach bare now that the blanket had fallen to his waist. At least he was wearing pants, she could see them from where his leg was poking out from under the coverings. Oh if there had been some way to get a picture of that! Her amusement turned to irritation.. there was her locket. The damned Pirate had taken to wearing it around his neck! Ugh! The Gods hated her.
Selene crept to the bed side, kneeling down she studied him. Trying to figure out the best way to get it off without him waking or him grabbing onto her. He shifted again, the handle of a pistol peeking out from under the pillow. Yep.. definitely do NOT want to startle him. She'd seen how good of a shot he was. He really was a handsome man, this was the first time she'd been close enough to get a really good look at him. He had his scars but nothing too obvious or detracting in anyway. More muscled then she'd originally taken him for- he was built lean like a swimmer or dancer but had a touch more bulk then one. But then he'd have to be strong to stay alive in these times. Taller to, she noted. But then it was easy to forget how tall he was when he stood beside a Viera so often, especially when you weren't used to being close to him.
Selene reached out for the locket, fingers stopping centimeters from it when he made a sound again. She looked back at his face, still sleeping. She looked down at her fingers again, so close...she stayed like that a moment then sighed. This was not worth it. There was no way she'd get it away from him without him catching her... or shooting first in that half awake and half asleep state if she startled him. She took her hand back and stood up. There would be another- less dangerous time. Before she left Selene did however take the few seconds it took to pick the majority of the covers from where they had fallen on the floor and put them back on the bed.
As she exited the way she came she missed the one open green eye that watched her go and the smirk that played on Balthiers face. Once she was gone he pulled his blankets back up and sat, thinking about the not so encounter. She'd had her moment and let it go... how odd.
Fran entered. "Still awake?"
Balthier yawned. "Just woke."
"From?"
He looked at the window again, she'd be back. "A dream." he grinned. "A very pleasant dream... pleasant but also very unsatisfying"
Fran gave him a confused look as she watched him yawn again and curl back up under his covers. Balthier waved a small 'good night' to her and close his eyes. Such were thoughts best left to the more awake mind after all.
