Did all I could

He sensed as he father was off, not quite himself. Though there were times recently that he had noticed him the same way. Maybe it was the abandonment from Aranea, maybe Balthier wasn't picking up enough of the slack. He could never know for sure, all he knew was that Allegro had always tried his best raising him and his siblings, and he was extremely grateful for the father he had and through Balthier's eyes, he was the best father anyone could have. There were many broken families inside Abaven, but they all seemed to come together as one. Though Baltheir didn't quite feel that way, he saw the rest of them. He didn't feel right inside Abaven, but it was where he was born, it was where his father raised him, and his entire life was made here.

Allegro had noted that Balthier should have been sleeping and the boy's eyes flicked along his head as his father ears pulled back and he pulled that fake smile. He didn't really understand what his father was doing, only a slight confusion across his features. "You should be too." He stated back kindly, "I heard a noise, it bothered me and I noticed you weren't in your den." Simple explanation, and maybe he was much more like Allegro than came to the eye. "Are you... going somewhere?" He quickly glanced at the pack his father had taken for the travel, and it was when his mind really started to wander. Why would he be leaving without announcing his absence? It was incredibly odd and started to unsettle Balthier. But he had no idea what to expect from his father in answer. The truth or a lie, he wouldn't know anything until or if his father told him.
