Summary: Balthier wishes he could be flying. For [livejournal.com profile] 5sentence_fics.



"I hate this," Balthier says, from somewhere over to his left, and there's the sound of a shot splitting the thick air before silence falls again. Ashe and the others start to move again immediately, too breathless and hot to bother with speech, but Basch raises an eyebrow at Balthier, falling in beside him and keeping pace with him.

"The desert in general, or just under these circumstances?" he asks, noting Balthier's glance upwards -- up to the bright blue sky.

"The ground in general," Balthier says, a little breathless, a snap in his voice, "anywhere that isn't the sky."

"Ah," Basch says, realising he didn't need to ask -- and that he can do nothing for Balthier either way.
