That real, honest disappointment?

[withswagger]

[blinks at him...

then gets cagey]

No need to worry about shattering my heart, Bergen, I'm more resilient than that.

[bad_in_latin]

It ain't that. M'tryin' for a honest sense of what you want.

[withswagger]

Haven't I been clear? But a courtesan mustn't be too selfish.

[bad_in_latin]

[ shrugs ]

Courtesan's job t'flirt too.

[withswagger]

[leaning forward.]

Am I good at what I do, my Prime?

[bad_in_latin]

[ goodness, was that a bit of a flush? ]

Surely are.

[withswagger]

... I want to be indispensable to you. And I want to know the man I feel that need for.

[bad_in_latin]

We can do all that without tanglin' our nethers.

[withswagger]

So we can. And we are. I suppose I can't resist.

[bad_in_latin]

[ well good job, you've got him thinking about it ]

[withswagger]

[yeessss]

... More impotantly, you've something else to do with me.

[bad_in_latin]

Alright, alright. Let's get ourselves back t'shore.

[withswagger]

By your leave, captain.

[bad_in_latin]

Sure thing.

[ paddling again ]

[withswagger]

[now is he gonna do this or is he gonna wuss out. stealing a glance or two towards him, though he's mostly watching the shore for anyone who might discover them.]

[bad_in_latin]

[ shutup!! they make it back to shore easily enough. Mal also keeping an eye out. ]

Safe and sound.

[withswagger]

A flawless pair of bandits, us.

Still, let us quit this place. I'd rather not be sprung upon by unfriendlies.

[bad_in_latin]

Back t'our ivory tower then.

[withswagger]

Ah, that sounds so Dry...

Why don't we run?

[bad_in_latin]

... Why not?

[withswagger]

[there's a brief moment where he's still standing there, lookin' at him, in the simple stall/anticipation of "do we start running or is there ceremony??" like. do we just take off? say ready-set?...

....naw let's just take off]

[bad_in_latin]

[ whoops that catches him off guard. now he has to run just to keep up ]

-- hey!

[withswagger]

If this is what you've got, then keep up, old man!

[bad_in_latin]

[ speeding up!! but let's face it balthier's probably faster ]
