Balthier is used to humanoid species from home, so won’t be too rattled by the Thessyx. He will initially try to socialize with humor. If this does not work, he will switch to charm and then to earnestness. He will try to involve the Thessyx in any activities that make sense in an effort to set them at ease and observe more behavior.

He’s mostly looking to gather information, and the main language he speaks is what drives people. He will try to work in indirect questions about their relationship to the Leviathan, what “Children” means to them, any abilities they may have, religious belief, and their general temperature toward the Hatchlings and non-Hatchlings. If he can get in a why now, he will.

He will warmly answer their questions back, though may omit information strategically. He will not give misinformation.
