I'm SO GLAD you like it!!!!! Like I said above, this was a really splendid prompt for me, having just played that part of FFXII--- and while I did see the um, more explicit possible reading of "your forest", I just had to go for the tender-and-sentimental one with these two, because they are such a partnership, and because Balthier's hidden depths (the ones he tries valiantly to keep the rest of the world from seeing) are one of my happy places in this fandom.

Thanks so much for such a fantastically versatile prompt!
