Balthier's feelings aren't dissimilar, and made worse by not being able to assure his partner that things will be alright with any real conviction -- though he does believe if anyone is stubborn enough to figure it out, it's them.
Still, it breaks his heart to hear David so hurting. "I know. I do too--" His voice is soft too. He's gotten better at not pushing his emotions away when David is low.
But then David's laughing, and while that wasn't Balthier's intent and some tiny part of him doesn't want to be laughed at for trying to help, he's smiling too, glad to hear that sound.
"I've been working on getting sky stone through the world transport, and we know enough people. If that's what we need, I'll find a way. Or do you doubt a man who has slain gods?"
Still, he holds David tight, kissing his temple and breathing in his familiar scent. So long as they aren't separated, they'll figure this out.
