[accidental video]

[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.]

You are quite right. Of course, there will not be any form of true punishment dealt on whatever killed my father, for he is viewed as a monster himself.
