*grin* Yeah, I can totally see Balthier taking a certain perverse delight in getting back at Vaan for stringing them on like this. I took the ending this way partly because of what nanthimus wanted to see and partly because, if I had done something else, it would have got retardedly too long and I probably wouldn't have ever finished it :P.

And it was a neat challenge to keep elevating the diction to reflect that formal-ish style they use in the game, so I'm glad you thought it came out well!

Thanks very much! ^_^
