Summary: It's hard to concentrate on a lesson when your teacher is Balthier.
"This is how it's done."
Vaan swallowed the initial protest that had journeyed halfway up his throat the instant Balthier's hand landed atop his. It was a warm and comfortable weight that had Vaan lost in the feel of it all. He could no longer remember what it was that had him stumped, only that his cluelessness served as the one way to attract Balthier to such proximity.
"Careful now," Balthier continued in a low whisper that tickled the outer shell of Vaan's ear as the brunet closed in, "applying too much pressure could result in disastrous complications."
"Uh-huh," was Vaan's unintelligent answer as the pirate pressed closely against his back in order to better guide the young blond.
It became difficult afterwards to concentrate on a single word that passed Balthier's lips. Vaan would nod mechanically if he heard what sounded like a question every now and then, but the rest of his body failed to operate above that level.
"Are you listening? I will only be repeating this once, so you had better be."
"Yeah, I am, just... whatever." Vaan mentally slapped himself for spewing a tangle of words that had Balthier raising a curious eyebrow at him before shrugging and returning to his explanations.
