 With recent events and all they have brought upon this city, I... I had almost forgotten.

My name day is an occasion which I have had neither desire nor opportunity to celebrate for the past two years. I cannot help thinking of how this day should be, a national holiday for my people.

It is wrong that I dwell upon this, upon Dalmasca... but, ever

I see no wrong in dwelling on your kingdom considering what was done to restore her.

Unfortunately, nothing can be done for Dalmasca at the moment, so I'm sure we'd all prefer if her majesty's attention didn't wander to a place worlds apart.

A distraction though? You need only say, as I am the master of them.

...

Hence the setting of private, Balthier. A setting which clearly has its' shortcomings.

And if I did say, what would you suggest?

[clean_cuffs]

I'm a nosy man skilled with machinery. Terrible combination if you're looking for some privacy.

Perhaps dinner and entertainment? Surely I can find something that will hold your attention.

[dynast_daughter]

So I have come to understand.

...I'd like that. You are welcome to try, Balthier.

Ahh....

Happy name day.

[dynast_daughter]

Thank you.

All the more, that you chose not to serenade me.

I am not a good singer in any case.

[dynast_daughter]

Worry not, you are in good company. My own singing leaves much to be desired.

Happy name day! Is that anything like a birthday?

[dynast_daughter]

In Ivalice, we celebrate not our birth, but the giving of our name. Since this usually happens on the same day as birth, it could well be described as a birthday.

Thank you, Umi.

[embracethewaves]

Oh! Well, that makes sense~ Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, even in a place like this. ♥

[dynast_daughter]

Yes, despite the conditions, I did enjoy it... very much.

Happy Birthday!

[dynast_daughter]

Thank you, Sonic.

Happy Name Day!

[dynast_daughter]

Mona, thank you. How have you been recently?

[onceahuman]

I've been doing okay. Just helping around here and there and spending times with my friends and family.

How about you?

[dynast_daughter]

That is good to hear. I have been doing much the same, truth be told.

Family... there is another here from your world now, isn't there?
