Forgive him if he's still wary about good things, especially relationship ones, drying up. But that worry is lessened lately; half a year is indeed substantial time, and they've seen so much of each other, and more importantly, showed up for the other when it's mattered. So Balthier's been letting himself trust that happiness more, and as much as that event was painful, having David choose him when there was, presumably, another good option has begun to heal something very old and very deep in him. He's desired, not because he's what is available, but because he's wanted as he is. He's enough. There are still days he worries, days he's low, but overall, he trusts this. Trusts David. Maybe even trusts himself.

To the question, he nods. "I noticed after my powers returned. It's similar to something I could do it home, and I realized the others may be as well. I'm wondering if my magic warped, like my bike did, to account for the lack of Mist her." At David's enthusiasm, he grins. "I love a chart someone else has made, so yes, we can make a project of it."
