Haha, this made me grin. Seems that Balthier is rather delicate despite all of his bravado.

It was short but amusing. haha. I would've wanted to see more. I must admit I just clicked because I was curious about the possibility of balthier x penelo. Ha. I think you captured the charm of the "pairing" (though they weren't actually shipped romantically in this fic) quite well - balthier all suave and being all leading man like and Penelo just being her genki self - and what I liked about it was Penelo was trying to help him (making him seem like an old man. hahaha) without bruising his ego.

Loved it as always!
