Good lad. Safety is always a good choice, and Balthier has to remind himself not to be too gentle with him and give away the act.

He doesn't have ears from his doubles, though, so switches to an audio feed in his ear from David's suit, along with a video feed of the area as he leads the kid around a corner.

"We all know why you hide your face," his doubles say ominously. Let the rumor mill run with that one. But as the shields go up -- great touch -- he lets the doubles start to squirm a bit, the shadows targeting their central bubble. Let them think he's sweating, really watch the show. "If you truly didn't care for glory, you wouldn't be so flashy."
