[ A real laugh escapes Balthier at Bruno's first comment. He's certainly been on the bailing out sorry asses end of the equation, too. ]

Fortunate for both of us. I'm not easy to persuade.

[ he agrees with Bruno though. Balthier isn't keen to stay locked up with jailers he doesn't understand. He's still weak from forcing his way out of the goo, but another few days and it might be time to bail. It would be useful to have an ally. ]

I'd give you my card -- Balthier, pirate extraordinaire, prison break for hire -- but I seem to have misplaced all of my belongings.

[ the guard doesn't seem too upset by his slow pace, and so he enjoys the warm breeze, shifting his clothes to better dry them. This is maybe the most ridiculous thing he's done since he first joined up with Fran after leaving Archades and changing his name -- that first week had involved too much alcohol and an inability to back down from a dare -- but there's something comforting in it. He's been through this nonsense before, and much younger and less skilled.

Still, there's a hole where Fran should be. They've done nearly everything together since that day 7 years ago, and when they didn't, they knew they'd meet back up in the end.
