i wasn't always a scientist, per se, but have always been interested in making things
as a child, i met someone who taught me to think as a scientist
he too thought less of life than of progress, so our relationship did not last, but those early teachings planted the seed -
morally as well as vocationally, i suppose.
now i build things to raise a city up.

[The subtle marks sneak up on people, mostly when they're at Ivalice. Where Reyes can wear more open billowing clothes that show off his skin. Here on Kadara and else where, fashion is a bit more modest... uniforms and standard regulation outfits. Nothing that makes anyone really standout that much from anyone else. One day they'll get there, once things are more settled.
But he enjoys getting to dress more liberally with Balthier on his home world. Let others catch a peek of those marks that stand out enough if people are close. A little surprise for observant eyes.
Reyes smiles into their kiss as Balthier moans, about to say something cheeky when it breaks, but the pirate suddenly has him as his mercy. Mouth at his jaw and his head is tilted just how Balthier wants it by the hair and who's moaning now? His pants start to feel a bit tighter at the slight roughness and he has to find something to hold onto. The most secure thing he knows right now are the sky pirate's pert cheeks, one hand on each as he gives an encouraging squeeze.]
Feels like you're trying to eat me, not plunder me.
[Not that he's complaining, not at all. If this was Balthier leaving some fresh marks on him he welcomed it completely. He was his, body and soul and letting Balthier claim him was never unwanted.
Reyes will though however pull his hips flush against his down, giving a rock up into him. He wants Balthier to feel how he effects him, drives him crazy. Good and bad, like a pirate should. Mostly good of course, mostly good.]

[ It pleases Balthier to no end that Reyes has taken so readily to Ivalician clothing, and truly, whatever Balthier wants to put him in. Those deep cut shirts are deeply flattering on his very handsome boyfriend, and they take a good deal of bravado to pull off for someone used to being covered head to toe. The gossip is a whole added layer of fun, watching people try to figure out who he's with, or better yet, leaving Reyes for a few minutes to get drinks or food, waiting til someone tries flirting with him, and then smugly coming to loop an arm around his waist and mouth down his neck.
Which is exactly what he's doing right now, though with a good deal more force. That groan in response to his lips across Reyes's jaw is all the encouragement he needs, especially given that with the length of his trip, that skin was disappointingly bare. He tangles his fingers deeper in Reyes's hair as he works at Reyes's neck, heat blooming in the pit of his stomach.
Those fingers dig into his ass and his neck arches back. His breathy gasp betrays just how much he likes that demanding pressure. He curls back in to bite at Reyes's skin, but when Reyes rolls his hips up Balthier loses his focus entirely, low moan crooning out, breath hot on Reyes's wet skin. ]
I will plunder you, and consume you, and have you crying out my name. [ he promises, voice low and already slightly breathless. Scions he loves how open Reyes is with his desire, loves the way the other always lets him know he's with him.
The tightness in Balthier's pants is distracting and delicious all at once. He shifts them around so he can knock Reyes onto his back, angling so he can grind against the other, slow teasing friction as he shoves Reyes's shirt up. He has every intention of pampering the other slowly, making him sigh and rock and maybe even plead with want. He'll nose up across Reyes' stomach and chest, dragging his tongue oh so lightly across it before blowing on the trail he's made, and then nuzzle into his chest.
And then, while the other is catching his breath for a moment, he'll take his nipple in his mouth, slowly swirling his tongue around it while he thrusts hard against Reyes's trapped erection. ]

then our definitions are not so dissimilar.
curiosity, a hunger for knowledge, for discovery - these are the fundamentals.
those empirical methods are simply the means to exercise our passions - to direct them, to refine the results, to enable legitimate proof.
i would argue that a scientist may contribute to the greater pool of knowledge with models alone - someone, somewhere, somewhen, will find that knowledge interesting, inspiring, perhaps even useful -
unless you mean the other kind of artistic model.
anatomical study is valid science.
[Is he joking? Maybe.
After a delay,]
it has been roughly seven years since we met.

at their best the arts and sciences are nearly the same
just differing in their products
models are quite a contribution
anatomical study is an excellent example of the overlap
[ Balthier's done his share of figure study. It's soothing. ]
Little past a decade for us

yes well leave it to humes to fight where they could work together
I'm impressed you've retained your optimism and strength of belief
[ He chuckles at the question. He'd attempted to mark it, but Fran hadn't cared much, and they'd done what they usually did: slayed monsters, robbed a tomb. ]
We're more the celebrate every day sort of partnership.

clearly you spend too much time in your lab if the behavior of regular people is surprising to you
but I wont' chastise you because I think I'm jealous of your blissful ignorance
it is indeed great fun to watch people try to tell Fran this. I think she's cracked a few spirits with her gaze alone.
