[Oh- that's... there's something to those words that has some bite to it. Reyes hand pauses and he'll pull back a bit. It's not even the Charlatan part that gets him, it's the part about being direct.
He knows that's something he has to work on still, Reyes isn't oblivious to his own faults when it comes to that, but even without that he thought things were okay. Clearly not if Balthier is commenting about it now, the bite of tired sarcasm not helping.]
If you're going to get involved in those affairs, yes.
[Which he really, truly, wished Balthier wouldn't, but he knows his intentions were good. They would likely be beneficial too, he wouldn't argue that, but still. The less Balthier was connected to The Charlatan the better. It was bad enough he was connected to Reyes Vidal.
Also yes he realizes he should have said 'thank you', but that's going to get lost in the middle of this won't it?]
