"Faatherrr," a childish voice exclaims. There's a view of expensive burgundy brocade then tilting up to see a scholarly face.

"Not now, Ffamran." A large hand descending, ruffling short hair.

"But--"

"I'll take you to the theatre, next week, if you behave for the rest of this one."  A hand dips into a pocket, producing a tiny model of an airship,

...It's nice to see a happy memory. [She's a little wistful about the whole thing.]

[video]

[immortal_shot]

[Excuse Balthier for looking a little grumpy and frazzled as he wakes up and makes a grab for the Forge. This is his first broadcast and life has given that particular memory a bitter aftertaste.]

...Pardon me?

[video]

[charmprince]

Oh, uh.

These things are... sharing things. [Way to be eloquent, Asellus. Good job.] Like dreams, or... memories, it seems? It was... not a terrible memory. [Well, from her vantage point, anyway.]

[video]

[immortal_shot]

...[Yeah, Balthier's not up for decoding all that-- wait.]

You... you saw it?

[Cue facepalm and a muffled groan. Great, there went his reputation.]

[video]

[charmprince]

[Oh, no! Not the reputation!]

...Don't be too upset. It happened to me, too, so it's not like I've got any advantage.

[video]

[immortal_shot]

Clearly I should've simply exhausted myself into dreamless sleep as I always did.

It's not a memory I care to have others see.

[video]

[charmprince]

I'll forget it. I doubt anyone wanted to share those. [She doesn't take well to feeling bad about accidental things.]

...Except the guy with the concert. He seemed pretty okay with it.

[video]

[immortal_shot]

What's done is done. 'The guy with the concert'?

[video]

[charmprince]

Don't know his name, but it was kind of loud. Lingerie being thrown everywhere... it smelled funny, too. But he definitely seemed pleased to... share it with everyone.

[video]

[immortal_shot]

[Balthier's mildly amused.]

I suppose some men would rather pretend more witnesses create reality.

[video]

[charmprince]

[O, hay, there's a sense of humor there. She'll relax a little bit.]

I guess so. He seemed pretty insistent that he was the life of the party, anyway.

[video]

[immortal_shot]

[Course he does. You just found him on the wrong side of the bed.]

Insecurity is something few men wear well. I've never really found use for it in my wardrobe.

Re: [video]

[charmprince]

[Better than pushing him off it, like the instigator she is.]

It's a little bulky-- you can see it from a mile away. Too flashy for me.

[video]

[immortal_shot]

[Surely you wouldn't dare! Balthier would never dream a woman would push him out of bed.]

A little heavy, certainly. Impossible to pair with any dignity.

[video]

[charmprince]

[She'd do quite a bit to poke fun at the too-serious. It's a holy calling, really.]

And it tends to stink of desperation. Not a good cologne on any man.

[video]

[immortal_shot]

[If Balthier'd wanted to be too-serious, he would've stayed a judge. He simply doesn't tolerate too much idiocy.]

Or any woman, for that matter.
