The Sandsea

[When you go up to the balcony, another cutscene triggers.]

Balthier: As I said, a misunderstanding.

Migelo: Misunderstanding? What I am understanding is they took Penelo because of you!

Vaan: What? What about Penelo?

Migelo: Oh, Vaan! They’ve taken Penelo! And there was a note – a note for this Balthier! Come to the Bhujerba mines, it said.

Fran: It’s Ba’Gamnan. He was in Nalbina.

Migelo: If anything were to happen to that sweet child – why, I’ve her parents’ memory to consider! You’re going to go to her aid, and that’s that! It’s what you sky pirates do, isn’t it?

Balthier: I don’t respond well to orders. You do know that the Imperial fleet is massing at Bhujerba?

Vaan: Fine, then I’ll go! You at least have an airship, don’t you? Just get me there, and I’ll find Penelo myself.

Basch: I’ll join you. I have some business there as well.

Balthier: An audience with the Marquis, by chance?

Vaan: Balthier, just take us and this is yours.

[Vaan brandishes the glowing stone from the palace.]

Fran: The gods are toying with us.

Balthier: Make yourselves ready. We leave soon.

Vaan: Right!

[Balthier and Fran join the party!]

Balthier: Ba’Gamnan’s note can only be referring to the Lhusu Mines in Bhujerba. We’ll leave at once. When you’re ready, meet me in the aerodrome. I should imagine it’s still by the west gate… We weren’t in Nalbina all that long. Do be quick. I’d like to save your girl and be rid of this headache as soon as possible.
