Summary: Time changes everyone. For
5sentence_fics.
"It's been a while," Basch says, shifting his weight awkwardly as if he still isn't used to the weight of his armour and the burdens he took up with it: the metal clinks faintly as he moves. Balthier eyes him carefully, not sure how he feels about this -- noting how Basch seems to have embraced as much of his brother as possible, from appearance to armour to stance.
"It has," he agrees, "and you've changed, my friend."
"Time never stands still," Basch says, as if in agreement.
Balthier lifts his shoulders in a shrug, feigning disinterest -- but something bothers him about the way Basch seems to be more his brother now than himself.
