When Azzurra would settle herself by him, leaning into him, he would move his paw to touch hers but wouldn't look back to her. Instead, his gaze remained on Allegro, waiting for the bad news he was expecting. His gaze to his father wasn't hard, or aggravated, or anything harmful towards the man. But had his father looked truly at his expression, he would know that Balthier was expecting what was to come true. Mostly all Balthier heard was that Aranea wasn't coming. Everything else was just noise after that. He took a deep breath, his eyes moving to the floor of the den as his mind raced through thoughts he couldn't even put together. He had expected that Aranea would bail on them again, up until Allegro confessing. And now that it was true, he didn't know how to feel. Allegro had always been their one true provider, but it was always important to Balthier that he helped his father in any way he was able. He was young and small, still not to his full height but he still wanted to give him the moral support and love that he felt he deserved. He had seen Poem and Sparhawk with their children, and he knew that what was going on in his own home wasn't right. As much as Allegro made it feel right. His brain finally settled, realizing that Allegro wasn't speaking anymore, certainly shortly after he was talking of extending more dens from the main one. Balthier moved forward quickly, his body gently rubbing against his sister before it left her, and he aimed to push his head strongly into Allegro's chest, maybe with some kind of apology or maybe even a thank you. There wasn't a true emotion to describe it. He wouldn't cry but he felt a lot of heavy emotions in this moment. And he wanted has father to know that he was here for him, as he had always been. |
