No Big Deal or Anything

Already he knew what he was doing was a futile effort, but he likely underestimated just how far gone Balthier really was or just how hopeless his attempts were. He did at least get some kind of reaction from his son this time, watching him jump a bit as the bottle shattered near his head, but it didn't seem to make him really rethink what he was doing in the way Allegro had hoped. Instead he just smashed the bottle he was actively using, making even more broken glass and hurting himself on it in the process. "Balthier..." he said softly, his mismatched ears flicking back as he watched his now adult son stumble toward the door and out into the hall. With a sigh Allegro trailed behind him, following his drunken decent from the castle and out into the cool night air until he reached the shoreline of the beach just outside of the pack's borders. He sat back on his haunches and watched Balthier for a bit longer, feeling this tether to this world begin to fade and weaken even more as he watched hopelessly at his son's current state. He had carried so much hope for his son and he couldn't help but blame himself for how things came to pass. Would things have turned out differently if he had stayed? Or would the resentment he had begun to build toward his broken, fractured family only made things worse? Allegro sighed, looking down toward his paws and the shimmering sands beneath them.
