Nor is cutting things one-handed - see, his request for something cooked rare was quite clever of him. It's much softer this way, unless Jack botched the meal (which we assume not, and that it is cooked beautifully, good sir). As always, Balthier's table manners are impeccable, even injured, with an easy, refined grace that suggests it's something long-ingrained, and not merely a pirate pretending to have gravity.

Belatedly - or perhaps deliberately casually - Balthier sets aside his fork after having cut a little triangle of his food and picks up his wine glass, raising it slightly in Jack's direction. "Thank you."
