^^ Alternatively, yes. Copies convoluted explanation from lj post:
Vossler fails to realise his tiny holding capacity is not sufficient to douse the sheer size of what he and Balthier's uncontrollable passion and disregard of bedsheet inflammability has instigated. Basch's offscreen fishing shack, a real estate agent's dream sited right on the banks of the nebra, went kaboom, somewhat like a communist building packed full of useless hydrogen fuel cells in a James Bond movie. Palm fronds plus rather an unusual amount of oil plus flaming mattress = no more holiday retreat.
Vossler holds his ineffective bucket and disbelieves. Balthier is already familiar with being in the midst of an explosion, hence he rescued his heritage-styled underpants with aplomb; currently he ignores Vossler's efforts as distinctly futile, feels quite guilty, but mostly feels sore.
