They were brazen words. In hindsight, it was really no surprise. Balthier had constantly made it a habit to catch her by surprise. He'd done it plenty a time when Link was still in the picture. When she had been caught up in her indecision. How had she managed to fall for him? His charm, most likely.
He was a good man, and that was something she never forgot.
A flush of pink kissed her cheeks at the very contact. It was so simple, but she was still so reserved, so conservative, and so prudish that the mere gesture easily captivated her. If she was a bird and he was the cage, then he had her safely behind an open door that she could fly from if she so choose to.
"...Truly? You would say such serious things to me. And yet know how this place torments the people who live there. You couldn't make such a promise without the threat of outside interference." Lifting her right hand, she carefully traced her fingertips along his jawline with a clear cut affection.
"How happy your words make me. I have no wish to be anyone else's other than yours. I hope that I can uphold such an ideal."
