[Divinitate]

The groom to be was here. Even the bride to be and princess were here. Typical that the pirate was late. Basch was bored of waiting, but showed no outward signs of it as Vaan handed him a glass and smiled his boyish smile. He wasn't sure what to say to him so he gave him a gentle smile before standing and walking to Penelo who was waiting for Fran to come before the ladies could go and celebrate at the bazaar. He recalled Ashe sending word that they were to have that area, for what reason he didn't know, or care.

Nodding to the youngsters he felt... old. "Congratulations, Penelo." He said softly, his voice as soft and steady as ever. The blond grinned widely at him, nodding her head as her eyes went beyond him to Vaan. He honestly didn't know why he had been invited... He had always felt that the young man hated him... After what happened so long ago. Yet here he was. With most of the old gang.

Sheepishly he smiled when Vaan walked up and clapped him on the shoulder. "Anyone heard from Balthier?" The boy asked, looking a little disappointed that the man he idolized so much wasn't there yet. There was no doubt in Basch's mind that the young man would practically jump the other when he came though. He shifted a little and pulled from the young man, meandering back to his corner and his forgotten drink.

Sitting he slowly sipped the liquid, not even sure what was in his glass... What ever it was it was sweet, yet had a nice stout smack to it. Coughing he made it a little obvious that he didn't drink... There was so much that he didn't do. Even Vaan was doing some of what he himself had never done... Looking down at the ground he slipped into his chair, wondering why he'd been alone so long.

What was wrong with him...! This was his friend's party! He should be happy. Grinding his teeth he shook his head of the ill thoughts and sipped his drink.
