"Why won’t you teach me?" Vaan asked one night, leaning against the wall by Balthier’s cabin.
Balthier almost stumbled over that one. Their usual argument was familiar and well rehearsed - "Balthier, would you –" "No, Vaan." - but this wasn’t entirely unlike Vaan stumbling over his lines and expecting Balthier to carry on. This was a change Balthier wasn't entirely sure he approved of.
He put his hand on the door and looked at Vaan, who looked back with what appeared to be genuine curiosity. "Because you’re more than irritating enough without my having to worry about you stealing the Strahl."
"I wouldn’t steal her," Vaan said, actually having the nerve to sound disapproving, as though Balthier should know better than to assume a thief would steal something he appeared to want with every fibre of his being.
Balthier smiled, not pleasantly, and opened the door. "Then you’re not much of a sky pirate, are you?"
