[That is... a ton of embroidery. Enough that David doesn't know whether he should smile or tease. But he's definitely looking.]

You, were supposed to be no more noticeable than I was. Him? Him I want people looking at.

[David had gone more middle ground. An older programming professional, an almost Steve Jobs look. Dark gray slacks, black sweater, and of course a yellow accent scarf because is it David without yellow. He doesn't even know how to react to the fact that he sort of compliment's Balthier's look, other than the fact that it will better cover what he needs to have happen.]

Balthier, did you leave any embroidery behind for anyone else? Though I suppose it does match the flashes of highlight in your hair.

[Is he flirting? Is he teasing? Why can't it be both? But it's not flirting. Shouldn't be flirting. There is no spell here.]

Bart, this is Balthier. Balthier, Bart Allen. Bart covered my first approach. Balthier will be a more appropriate assistant for the second.
