[Divinitate]

The man had such a...way about him. Looking at him blankly Basch said, "Things like that are why I even want you in the first place, Balthier." Shrugging off everything else he locked his door and slipped his key into his pockets, keeping his hands there. At the mention of Ashe he grimaced. That was a whole other memory he'd sooner forget then mention... Yet he found himself saying, "She offered to find me a woman, shortly after the Vayne incident..." His eyes were on the ground as they left his apartment building and started to walk. He wanted to touch the man...to see if he really was there or not. He knew that he was after all Balthier was getting many looks, even if he did smell of sex. He barely hid his blush at that thought. Abruptly he stopped, wondering what the hell Balthier was doing... He was filthy, and he smelled. This was utterly unlike him. Frowning he asked, "Why...why are you throwing what makes you you...to keep me company. We were never close...There were many times I just wanted to lob your head off for something you said...and I'm sure there were many times you wanted to shoot me for my uptight behavior... so why are...why "hang" out with me...I am hardly the type you enjoy being near..." He was so confused. To say the least...

Scrubbing his face he looked around a moment and spotted a rather nice diner. "There. Its secluded, no one you know would be there...and it looks nice...ish." He said, looking at the people who were milling about like they had something to do. He didn't understand why Balthier would...stay. There was nothing in it for him, and it would only make Basch want him more. Didn't the man know that...Shutting his eyes he wished vainly that this had never happened...Then again he wished it would happen again, and again...and again. A small blush crawled to his cheeks at those silent wishes and he was about to turn to Balthier when someone jumped on him, sending him to the ground. "Basch!" Came the high pitched voice of Penelo, Fran close behind her. "Wooow! Balthier too!" She looked between them, noticing Basch's red cheeks instantly.

"Ooooh how cute!" She giggled as Fran watched the spectacle
