Okay. So now what? [Complete]

Character(s): Gabranth, Fran, and Balthier
Content: A slightly confused Judge Magister runs into the local pair of sky-pirates
Setting: Somewhere where the Sinspawn aren't
Time: Noonish
Warnings: None at the moment

Rasler had gone, then. Gone to, one would only assume, whatever awaited him after his death. And while he couldn't claim to be sorry to see him go, the fact that he was left alone with no one save the sky-pirates and Dr. Cid was bothersome, to say the least. All of them were more than capable of revealing him for being not the man he claimed to be and all of whom he would rather not meet, for exactly that reason. Not now, when he'd almost found a way to at least pretend at the honor he hadn't had for many a year.

And while he could yet claim to be his brother, there was yet the question of what do to with himself in the meantime. To claim his brother's name and not act the part would only serve to jeopardize his position further. Not that it wasn't already - the pirates knew his brother's voice far too well and Dr. Cid knew his far too well. Or at least, he could only assume as much. To do otherwise was folly, that much was certain.

And he had no inclination to leave behind the name he'd borrowed, nor take up his Magesterial armor just yet. He was and would always be a Judge Magister after all, armor or no. He just saw no need to act in a official capacity at the moment. The Ninth was, after all, in charge of information and better information could be gained from being someone not-him.

And for now, he would merely drift, and think on what to do next.

It seemed as though he wasn't imagining it after all. Balthier glanced to his partner. She had likely noticed the same thing, and he trusted her ears far more than he could trust his own.

"Right, right..." he finally said, returning to the conversation at hand. He'd mainly been making small talk, but that answer worked just fine. He could work with it. "Absolutely right. After all, standing around doesn't do anyone any good."

Of course, he and Fran really didn't plan to get too far into these affairs, but that was something to be expected. They were sky pirates, not problem solvers. The people in this place seemed to be doing a relatively good job of keeping their affairs in order anyway... Well, enough that they didn't need any outside help.
