A pair of men without a sky [Active]

Character(s): Setzer and Balthier
Content: A sky pirate and a gambler meet
Setting: The Cafe Ersesat at F6
Time: Late afternoon/early evening
Warnings: None at the moment

From time to time, even a man who was as upbeat as Setzer felt the need to simply sit and think. The fact that he'd chosen to stop at place that just happened to sell an assortment of alcohol was just sort of an added incentive. And in any case he wasn't really paying attention to the half-full glass in front of him, instead idly shuffling his cards.

Between the monsters and assorted other difficulties of the city things had long since stopped because interesting and had become a bother. He hadn't seen Locke for quite some time either, which meant he was the only Returner around and thus the only one he could trust should it end up that someone needed to take Kefka down. And then there was the lack of a sky. He'd always felt most at home in the skies with the wind blowing through his hair and here he was not only grounded but trapped in a city that was far too small to accommodate his wanderlust as well as himself.

And he couldn't do a damned thing about it.

Balthier could understand that. There were many a person in this place who had captured Balthier's interest, and he intended to learn more about them at some point (although it would instantly be put aside should any leads off this island come across).

"I can only imagine." The sky pirate couldn't say he cared much for card games, but solitude and idleness were two things he'd rather not face. "Would be better had I more mobility, but sadly it seems my ride has found better things to do," Balthier continued with a short shrug. "I wouldn't suppose you have anything?"
