[ The third time Balthier had David in utter misery and couldn't touch him, or hardly do anything to help, David had mentioned previously having really strong maybe-not-legal medication from Josh, but they were fighting, so he couldn't get any.
In all honesty, if Balthier actually thought about it, David's probably fine. But Balthier feels helpless when six months ago he could have magically healed anything, and now he's got, what, illusion magic and the ability to transfer ailments, so any healing is someone else's suffering.
And all of David's friends have powers that are, well, useful.
He's being extremely insecure. Maybe he's still more rattled about everything than he realized. He's no use to David, very little to Peter... ]
Alright.

[ Yeah, that hurt to say. As much as he pretends to be a selfish pirate, he hates this. Hates being on the sidelines. Hates being nothing.

It always comes back to that. ]
