First Meeting

Summary:

Balthier meets Fran for the first time.

Notes:

I originally wrote this as a drabble for an exchange on Discord, in French. The 100 words count didn't survive the translation, though (I had no intent for it to survive).

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Our raised glasses clink.  

I had, of course, heard rumours about the few Vieras that leave the woods to explore the outside world and live among humes, but to meet one… I hadn’t expected that. I had expected even less that she would agree to drink with me. 

Fran travels alone. She, too, says she’s a sky pirate. What is she running away from? I wonder what she’d think about the Strahl, if I were to show it to her. Not that I want to impress her… but I like the way she looks at me. We don’t know each other yet, but through her eyes I feel like I can see the man I want to become.

Notes:

I hope you enjoyed this little ficlet!
