And Dani was the one to totally see it. Being that she was concerned about Balthier, something like knocking was discarded. Don't give them a minute to compose themself to lie.

She silently slid into the room and closed the door softly so there was barely a click. "Balthier."

He jumped when he heard her voice and quickly turned around. Balthier rubbed between his eyes and sighed. Dani was one of the people most likely to be hurt by that news. Seeing her made him both relieved and worried.

"You move like a ghost. Reddas will be glad for that once you join him."

"You get used to it, living on the street for ten months. Or avoiding snooty parties." Dani said, studying him intently. If everything else about Vlad was bad, at least it was good he bothered to teach her how to read an opponent. Lord knows she was used to put competitors off guard and reveal something he could use how many times.

"Reddas is your pirate friend?"

"He is one of my closest friends. I trust him with my life, and yours once it comes to that." He didn't sound as certain as usual. It made him seem closer to his actual age than he did most of the time.

"I assume you're here because of that annoying information about me," Balthier guessed.
