"Where's Basch-? I think he and lord Larsa should be back already-"
At the Princess' tensed question, Balthier, who was polishing his gun, leaning on the closed rusty gate they still hadn't managed to pass through, arched a brow with a smirk.
"I think Basch is old enough to take care of himself." he just commented dryly, while looking at the beautiful woman whose eyes were lost in expectation in the depths of the dark squared tunnel of the mines, as if she hadn't even heard him. He put his gun on his back, and crossed his arms, his expression becoming more subtle. "By the way, let me see - are you worrying about yourself because you are abandoned in this hell without your personal knight, or are you just worrying about him?"
Ashe didn't answer - but at least he had gained her attention, because now her glacial eyes had left the emptiness of the tunnel to stop upon him, in utter disgust.
Her change of expression when they heard the sound of an engine activating was surely something which would have made the sky-pirate smirk - but the gate opening and leaving him with nothing behind his back prevented him from doing so.
The fall wasn't really hard - the fact that the princess did absolutely nothing to pull him back on his feet was a little harder, though.
