[Balthier's first thoughts upon landing were mostly along the lines of creative cursing -- of course Celes had beat him here, she'd had a head start, but the beast was still standing, so she couldn't have been here for long. Well. If one could call it standing. If he were being completely honest, any witty remark he might have made to dress up his late arrival as being incredibly timely, instead, was put right out of his head when he laid eyes on the thing.
Certainly, nobody could fault the name for false advertising. He raised an eyebrow as he saw the creature begin to re-shape itself into a pillar, getting a clearer shot of the trio it was aiming to stomp as he quickly drew closer, leaving the Strahl behind.
That looked painful. And, just his luck, the thing seemed to be gelatinous the whole way through. That meant his bullets wouldn't do him much good, though he did have a case of elemental shots tucked away in his pack, something that had been on his person since his departure from Ivalice. He had been saving them to use in a pinch, though if these three were having trouble, now might have been the time to use them. For the moment, he stuck with normal bullets, firing two shots into the Spherimorph in rapid succession. If nothing else, it would draw the creature's attention and offer the others a brief reprieve.
He recognized the only male figure among the group and offered a wink as a greeting.]
DUN DU-DUN-DAH!
