[ apparently villagers and a few new recruits keep getting lost on their way to search out herbs. balthier mentioned his cartography and navigation skills at camp one day, and next thing he knew he'd been recruited to create a more reliable guide to the herb's locations.
he has a waterproof container -- which he has to give back when this adventure is over, the foreman was very clear about that -- with paper, pencils, a compass, and a ruler. he also has instructions to wait for a partner, someone with stronger drawing skills, so they can document what some of the plants look like.
it's early morning, just past dawn. the desert air is chill this time of day, and the moisture released from the night's photosynthesis hasn't quite evaporated yet. a few stars are still visible in the sky. balthier breathes in deeply. this is the peace of the skies, the feeling he'd been chasing at 16, the quiet he hasn't felt in a year.
he stays focused on the sweetness of breathing in that air and not the pain of the five people who aren't here with him. ]
