Run away was it? She couldn't help but doubt that that was like to be in the plans just yet, and even more so given that the man had brought it up - Balthier didn't care much for doing what was asked of him. And Dr. Cid had all but dared him to stay, for the time being. Therefore they would stay.

Or rather, Balthier would stay to spite the man he once called father or at the least to continue the conversation and she would hardly think to leave after all. Better to have someone who was less affected by these things, even if he could use the nethicite to thrall her should he wish it.

But for now, she'd remain silent - little more than a comforting presence at Balthier's side. It wouldn't be her place to say anything even if she had anything to say; it was Balthier's show for the moment.
