mooglenet_backup[The phone has clearly fell from somewhere as it's angled from the floor of the engine room where Balthier is currently seated on what appears to be a crate. He's got what appears to be a part of an engine in one hand and a tool in the other.
For a few minutes, that's all there is to watch. Balthier is just quiet, the low hum of the engine is clearly too loud for him to have heard the phone hit the floor, since he's sat right by the thing.
After a moment longer, he stands and grabs another tool seating himself a moment later.]
You old fool... all you had to do was stay out of trouble and you could play with your infernal tools all you wanted.
[His voice is very distant, entirely unlike his usually friendly manner. Balthier sighs and puts the objects down in front of himself, folding his arms on his knees. He clearly looks upset, but he's not crying. He hasn't cried in a very long time, he's not starting now.]
Damn you, Cid... just when things were starting to seem right again you get yourself murdered by some... demon...
[The video continues with him sat like that for a few more minutes before he just picks up his project and continues silently. The transmission times out.]

[And she is...if only for his sake.]

He brought it upon himself.
[Voice]
Date: 2010-02-19 04:40 am (UTC)That he did, I cannot deny. Yet I am aware of how it is to lose family. It is not what I would wish on anyone.

Date: 2010-02-19 04:38 am (UTC)[He sighs and shakes his head, finally looking his young age for a change. Regardless of his pompus attitude, he's still very much a child.]
There is nothing I can do about it now. I only hope whatever beast it was that killed him is dealt with before I get my hands on it.

Date: 2010-02-19 04:46 am (UTC)That it was, the doctor was far too ambitious for his own good at times but to be murdered so callously...
[A sigh.]
Tis during such times I begin to wonder if we lose sight of our humanity by merely viewing each other as enemies upon the battlefield, metaphorically and literally.

Date: 2010-02-19 04:50 am (UTC)If you would appreciate any aid in dealing with this demon which attacked him, I am willing to offer such, even if it is just tracking it down for you to deal with it yourself.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-19 04:52 am (UTC)...that would be appreciated. Should you come across the demon, inform me.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-19 04:58 am (UTC)And if I can do so without causing serious injury to myself, the demon or the surroundings I find it in, would you like for me to detain it if you need time to get to where it is?

Date: 2010-02-19 05:09 am (UTC)Still, it should hardly be surprising.

[ She kneels down behind him, wrapping her arms loosely around his neck, just holding him. ]

Date: 2010-02-19 11:17 am (UTC)Do not offer your sympathies or condolences like the others, Fran. I've dealt with enough false pity and suffered the wrath of one particularly irritating child.
