[ Oh, Reyes, that is the sweetest reason for being an absolute idiot. Balthier's made some level of peace with the fact that Reyes clearly wants him around, but also seems skittish around anything heavy, and he's been trying to respect that.
Maybe that was part of the urge for this gesture without consulting with Reyes first. That was what he wanted, right? To just make decisions and glance over them to each other? ]
I told him how to reach Keema, and that she likely could get a line through, and that I'd follow up.
[ He waves it off. He's old hat at this sort of information passing off, and maybe some part of him is disappointed -- if not entirely surprised -- Reyes isn't more pleased with his efforts. He's cautious; he has to be, and everyone knows a deal isn't a deal until the goods are in hand. ]
But we can talk work later.
[ He didn't really want to open it so much as give Reyes a heads up, and now he's done that, and would like to go back to being welcomed home. He nuzzles against Reyes's neck, sighing happily at his familiar scent. ]

I missed having you near me.
