Something something propriety. It means little here, I suppose.

[There's a dismissive little wave to go with that casual tone. Although—]

Excuse me, I'm a what?

[What does that even mean, Aerith?]

[inemeraldfaith]

Propriety—

[Oh. Yeah. There it is again. That Somnus kind of deal. Aerith considers for just a moment that maybe even with Balthier she ought to be a little careful about what she says. She loves to push and prod. Offend, maybe not so much.

When he addresses her little description of him, she grins.]

A snack. Means you're tasty! You know, you look tasty!

[theleadingman]

Not to worry; I've since realized it's largely to be dismissed out of hand, in this place.

[They're not in Ivalice, after all.

He takes half a beat to consider her answer, and his smirk is clearly audible in his response.]

I see. A feast for the eyes, one might say. I'm hardly inclined to disagree.

[He is a legit snack.]

[inemeraldfaith]

Well, it's not that. I'll—uhm—I'll keep that in mind. I'll try to, anyway. [No promises there.]

And I didn't say that either. I stand by my original idea. You're cute. Handsome, if you want to get fancy. But if I was putting you next to a cake, one of those things I'd eat and it probably wouldn't be you.

[Because let's be real, Balthier's dry wit would make for a rather poor cake. He'd make a great lemon bar, though.]

[theleadingman]

I believe we spoke at length about use of that particular word.

['Handsome,' he'll certainly take— that's far more to his tastes.]

That hardly seems a fair comparison, besides. A cake isn't a snack, it's dessert— an entirely different category.

[LET HIM HAVE THIS]

[inemeraldfaith]

I'm pretty sure I get special privileges for what I call you. If not, I'm pretty sure I can change your mind on that too.

[There's some moments of pause before she continues.]

Pretty sure I snack on cakes. Therefore, cake's a snack, too. But are you tastier than a cake? I'm going to have to lick you to find out.

[theleadingman]

[Alright, now they're moving beyond what he would consider his flirtation wheelhouse— he may have to concede this one.

All the same, he chuckles.]

You win this round, I think. I forfeit.

[inemeraldfaith]

Wow, really? I'm going to threaten you with that every time I want to have my way.

[And not deliver.]

For today, I'll gracefully take my winnings!

[theleadingman]

There are some things even I struggle to come up with a witty response for.

[In this particular instance, without being crass. That's a line he prefers not to cross.]

Enjoy your victory while it lasts— I'll not be caught unawares, next time.

[inemeraldfaith]

That's what you think!

[Imagine Aerith sticking out her tongue because that's exactly what she's doing.]

[theleadingman]

[It's definitely not a stretch to imagine that. She often has that energy.]

Suppose we'll just see about that, won't we?

[inemeraldfaith]

You bet we will! Now, I'm going to covet my success before you get it into your pretty head to take it away from me. Until next time, Mister Balthier!
