[Blaine]

The Veira receded back into her natural state of silence as she watched the Humespeak. She nodded her assent, accepting the challenge when she suddenly turned at the scent of two more Humes. "Balthier, Penelo." She spoke tartly in recogntion as the sky pirate only nodded, trying to free his sleeve from Penelo's grasp.

He looked up when he saw Basch pass, seeing a familiar glazed look to his eye as he receded any words he may say. He knew better than to comment or even follow..perhaps he just needed some time alone which was well deserved on his part. Looking to Fran, he could see she had said something, but he would wait until they were alone before he even asked her about it. Feeling the gunk all over his body, his mind began to wander to the night before...though most of it was hazy, he could still hear the screams of the man beneath him, the moans of his voice and the tight heat of his ass...Completely out of it, it wasn't until Penelo began to poke him in the arm did he snap out of his reverie. "What are you thinking Balthier...~?" She gazed at him expectantly when he suddenly frowned. "Bathing. I feel dirty."
Casually gazing at Fran, he could see she picked up on the word, reacting ever so slightly though he didn't know what it meant. "I should go back, I need to bathe before it all sets in...thank you Penelo." Smiling smugly, as he usually did, he nodded and placed gil on the table for his meal as well, strolling out of the small diner not too long after the other man. Huffing in her seat, Penelo crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "Men. Always in a hurry to do nothing." Looking at her and nodding, Fran could only agree.

Leaving the diner, Balthier looked about, almost hoping to see the other man, but when nothing returned his sights, he merely sighed and kept walking...he really needed a bloody shower..
