lmao the one pirate adora's met (who is an actual Sea Pirate) is like... the least cool person she knows, but she appreciates him anyway. if she ever finds out balthier was a sky pirate she's gonna be like holy shit that's so much better, sorry sea hawk, this guy is where it's at.

i feel like she'd poke fun at him for being such an Old Man at 23, and for his seeming arrogance, but since he has a good heart they'll still vibe -- plus they both have the 'running away from home to follow your own path' backstory, which adora doesn't really hide from people on her end, even if balthier might play his cards closer to his chest. so yes, give him to me.
