"I've seen you looking at me," Balthier says, close to his ear, so that Basch can feel his breath against his neck, so that he almost -- almost -- tips his head back to invite Balthier closer. He keeps his eyes forward, on Ashe, who sleeps curled up in a way that hardly befits her rank: it reminds him that he has a purpose, a place to get to, for her, and can't be distracted.
"I would advise you not to push this any further," he says, quietly, and he moves the whetstone over his blade quickly so that it squeals into the night, a clamorous, un-sweet sound to block out Balthier's presence.
"You can't set aside your desires all the time," Balthier says, though Basch can sense that he knows he's already lost.
"Save this for a time when I no longer have to, then."
