This is so good. The way they spoke, both to each other and the words alone, are so utterly resembling of their speech and all dialogue in XII as a whole that I'm astounded. You have a true skill and I'm really glad you wrote this fic. Just as well, their emotions and the surroundings - even Vaan's "Yeah!" made me laugh because everything worked so well and was so fitting. Great job.

Amazing prose and storytelling here.

Beautiful! What a way with words you have; you must have excelled in English classes. This reads like prose and poetry, and you have totally captured and elegantly portrayed the characters of Balthier and Fran. As I read this, I felt like I was back in literature class, reading one of the classics. Well done!

That was perfect: the dialogue, the characterization, the themes, everything. Just wonderful, and I'm glad I picked this to read in my insomnia.
