Missteps and Revelations

Balthier hadn't been up while Azzurra was out. Sleep wasn't difficult to come by with or without his sister and when she left the den he hadn't even noticed. He wasn't due on any patrols today, but he was still a pretty early riser given the fact he usually had duties to do.

The sun slowly lit up through the windows and around the door and the dim light of the early morning is what woke him. He instantly felt the absence of his sister but didn't jump up in a panic. It was odd to him but there was no need to freak out. He knew she did some of her own things like running and what not. He stretched in the bed of furs before rising to his feet and exiting the den.

He took a second to adjust to the sun on the horizon but it didn't take him long to see Azzurra out on the beach. His neck craned in a stretch before approaching her. "Good morning." He spoke as he was close enough and then he joined her on the beach. "You're up early." He spoke through a gentle smile, having no suspicions about what had happened the night prior or where she was just a few hours ago. Maybe he was a little dense, but he tried to not to force so much control of her when he could feel that rising. Though taking a dip in the water this early in the morning was quite odd.
