The orphan headcanons aren’t stopping today

-orphan girl falling asleep on Balthier at a restaurant while he and Vaan meet up after a while (they spend a lot of time apart at first w Balthier doing Balthierthings/avoiding this very matter), insert Balthier covering up his excitement at her comfort with him by drawling, “in all my days with women I’ve never met a little lady who I’ve manged to bore to sleep”. He carries her back to Strahl with Vaan at his side

-additionally insert orphan girl running up to Balthier and hugging him and declaring she wants to hang out with him all day, and Balthier saying to Vaan “well what can I say. Ladies love me.”

-and lastly, Balthier returning from Balfonheim after a month or two with the new cat, says to excited orphan bab “you can come meet her on my ship if you like”, as some first way he reaches out to her, and Vaan laughs. “Okay (insert her name i didn’t bother making up), rule number one. If a man who dresses weird and talks funny ever invites you on his airship with the promise of kittens, Do Not Do That.” Balthier glares, Vaan grins. “But this guy is okay. No one else though.”
