Strahl
.-°-..-°-.
As the Strahl - if she had caught the name right - was dashing towards the Westersand, princess Ashelia B'Nargin Dalmasca paced nervously in the corridor just in the rear of the cockpit. She had done her best to take the lead, but in the matter of facts, she was in the hands of a not so trustworthy sky pirate right in that moment, and that wasn't comforting at all.
She spotted on a shelf that strange device Balthier had used to imitate her voice and Basch's one. She examined it for a moment, but she had no idea how the thing could actually work.
'Probably, I would never have been able to steal the airship even if they had let me'
When she pushed a casual button, she almost startled at her own shrill voice proclaiming °I'm trying to concentrate!°
"Troubles with technology?"
When she turned back, Balthier was there just behind her, with his cocky stance and his overconfident smirk. She didn't even bother replying - she just pushed the device back hastily in his hand, frowning at him while he bowed at her gesture.
Still, she didn't leave at first, and her eyes were fixed to his quick fingers setting that evil object. With no particular reason, she was feeling the strong desire to count all those stupid colourful rings of his. But in the middle of the process, the sky pirate had brought the device to his sneering lips already.
"I want you, Balthier"
And it was her unpleasant voice coming from it.
Really, that was so unexpected her cheeks turned a darker shade of pink, and not even looking up at him utterly outraged was enough to make her feel better.
Not so trustworthy, unnerving, sky pirate he was.
