It's my birthday within a week, and my father has... requested I plan a part of sorts. A social gathering and ocassion to celebrate my nineteen years. All the important old families. 'A masked dance', he so says. I can see clearly where this may lead.
... I look upon the day with much disdain. I wish only for a quiet get together, not an entire senate!
This is blackmail, father! He knows far too well I should not wish to move back into the Dalmascan household, and he too, knows that in our best interests, I should stay here - but I shall have to hold to his request or else he will inforce the punishment.
This, however, provides an opportune moment, as I can retrieve information to an extent, and catch up on those the Tatakai ask us to watch. Thus, I would ask you all to keep your eyes open.
... I would also appreciate if no riots were to be held on the day of December 5th. My abscence (due to being a leader of a faction holding order) would be noticed by my father. That said, during the coming week, I shall have little time to give to the resistance. I apologize most gravely in advance.
... Balthier. What - I mean - Would you attend?
