Good day, Balthier. Why, pray tell, is mum calling me at four in the morning over here to tell me about her wonderful grandson? Is Albanion staying with them for the time being or something similar?
He's doing well, if you're curious. Mum and Father both enjoy having him there. Father's teaching him how to fix and run a chainsaw.

Luxord! Yes, Albanion is staying with your parents while Fran and I go out on a little hero mission for old time's sake, before the old girl gets too big for the fun things.
Don't tell her I said that...
Anyway, what's this about your dad teaching him to fix and run a... wait, a chainsaw? ARE YOU MAD?! GET THAT THING AWAY FROM HIM! HE'S ALREADY GOT THE MAKINGS OF A YOUNG TERRORIST! On your father's head be it!

Ah. That's fine, then. Mum said she'd be more than happy to keep an eye on him for you. I bet he's found your old porn stash by now.
And I won't tell her, but she's coming along well, I hope?
There is nothing wrong with knowing how to run a chainsaw! And I'm not the mad one, it's Father's decision to trust him with power tools and things of that nature. He won't be able to sneak up on you in the middle of the night, anyway, as chainsaws are not stealthy in the slightest. Just give him a chance, won't you?
Re: [Voice Reply]strahlflyerNovember 16 2009, 20:03:53 UTC
If he's found my porn, I don't know if I'll be proud of him for it or want to beat him for touching my porn...
Of course. It's her friend we're off to rescue, after all. I'm the tag-along to protect the Strahl!
I've given him lots of chances, but the boy hates us and I truly wish he didn't. He genuinely is that bitter, but I'm hoping that he'll trust us eventually...

You haven't touched it in ten years that I know of, so I believe it's fair game. Be proud of him, because if mum couldn't find it in ten years and Albanion could in one day, he certainly has talent.
Her friend? Is it Miss Rikku? Why does she need rescuing?
He truly hates you? Shame. Take him out for a flying lesson on the Strahl one day, perhaps, and just keep spending time with him. You still may be strangers to him, even though you're his parents.

He is just as clever as his father, if not more so.
That's fine, then. I understand. It can wait.
Your father...you're never going to settle things with him, are you? ...You don't even plan on settling. Do you really think even someone like you can truly get away with patricide? What kind of example would you be setting for your son?
Re: [Voice Reply]strahlflyerNovember 16 2009, 21:15:20 UTC
More clever than me? My, you bruise my ego...!
He hid my son from me and was, to be honest, a total prick. For so long I thought he was righteous and just, but he was monster. I got into Law here to take from him what he's taken from hundreds of thousands of people in Ivalice: his money, his power and his pride, among other things.
Someone has to hold him accountable for all he's done and not just let him go because he has money and social station. I'm going to make sure of that.

He may be, "may" being the key operative. I haven't met him yet, but I suppose your ego could stand a bit of a knock every now and then.
So that's why. I always wondered why you got into Law, of all things. If you must dethrone your father, keep in mind that he is still your father, and you are still his son. You can break this needless cycle of sons hating their father and still have justice. Look towards that way and no other.

It's a long story, which I will explain in due time. It's not really mine to explain.
He has made it abundantly clear that he hates the both of us. Remind me to kill my father for that... Maybe someday, though...
