"Who says you're allowed to steer?" Balthier chuckles. "We have continents that have floated for thousands of years. I've flown ships since I was a boy."
But he squeezes David, dropping his games. "I know, love. I do too." The real problem was that David, even more than Balthier, would be miserable away from his friends and from people to help. They couldn't just disappear.
