Unfortunately for Gabranth, the Judge's luck seemed to be rather lax that day, as the sky pirates he had previously not wanted to see happened to be heading in a direction that just happened to cross his path.

Balthier was still rather irritated from his encounter with Dr. Cid. He wouldn't complain, not outright, anyway, but one too many complications were cropping up, which wore away at his mood all the more. He had quickly decided that he wanted out. The cage these people called a dome was bothersome enough.

He was thankful when the familiar figure caught his eye. It was something else for him to think about, and something that still needed to be taken care of. "Basch" was rather suspicious, and Balthier was keen to figure out just why. With all of the instances of dead men cropping up, he had some idea, but he'd rather not think on it for too long. Best save that for once a definite conclusion was reached.
