"I'm only here to see how the story unfolds."

So, if it's possible to hire a professional pirate, I might have a task I could use your help on. If you're interested, meet me at the Chai House in Excelsior. And dress in an attention grabbing way.

Said the moon one night
To the candle alight
See how I envy you so

For in a dark room
Or in deeper gloom
People gather to your glow.

I see your alarm,
You think I but charm,
Quick you are to deflect

You say bright do I shine
But this light is not mine
I can do naught but reflect.

All that you can see
The sun has given to me
Nothing I give do I make

I've learned not to be proud
When easily hidden by cloud
And know what I give I first take.

I beg you listen to me
For from here I can see
The true wonder between us two

If only somehow I could learn
To be like you and to burn
So I could be a touch more like you.

The way that you give
The way that you live
Each moment shining so bright

Would that you could see dear
What I see from up here
That I can but only envy your light.

Hello, Balthier! I call bearing good will and happy tidings having recently learned of your involvement with one of my former team-mates, David Alleyne.

From:

[ They'd settled on today some time in advance, but not knowing what state his house would be in by the time the agreed-upon day rolled around he'd opted to keep the location a question mark and decide closer to the time.

Well, the time is now, and Stephen's just finished clearing out another enchantment from the walls of his borrowed manor, so he fires off a text. ]

Ready to get started. Your place or mine?

After arranging to come and see Balthier, Peter shows up at his place. No one else is around, which is what he'd wanted. He feels a little awkward about it, but that's all internalised. It seems like a weird thing to confess to joining the villain side, especially since Peter is very loud about not being a villain.

Well, it's Balthier, right? He'll understand. Or tease about it. Or both!

When Balthier lets him in, he goes and settles (as much as he ever "settles") on the couch.

"Hey. Man, it feels like it's been forever since I hung out with you."

[Assuming that Balthier's been in his home world for two full weeks, this text probably displays as having been sent...pretty much two weeks ago, actually. Nonetheless!]

I don't know if you'll see this, but I want to thank you again for that healing potion.
It saved my life today.

[Among all the other smaller gifts of clothes and teas and other delights is the true high grade gift: a silver pocket watch with the date they met engraved in it. The cover of the watch is engraved with their horoscope constellations, and a moon in the middle.]
