"And here all I wanted was tea." There's another biting remark on his tongue, but the gentleman is shaking his head and apologizing; this was an accident. Balthier could easily be rude, but to what end? He's been having better luck -- and a better time -- here being kind.

He sighs. "No, it was my fault. Let me buy you another cup. Although I warn you, it is certainly one of those days, so I am relieving myself of responsibility if the next one's lid isn't placed on properly." He holds the door open and forces on a small smile. Maybe if he acts pleasant he'll feel less irritable today.
