My totally and completely on time gen_challenge fic. ^^;

This was originally meant to have more things happening in it, I think. It was definitely meant to be in Vaan's POV. But writing it that way was proceeding like a rock, so I let Balthier have a go at it. Balthier informs me he can go on for hundreds of words about airship mechanics anytime. ^^

For sister_coyote's prompt: What it means to be a sky pirate -- the glorious and the inglorious. Ideally with a Vaan and Penelo who are naive and inexperienced but not completely clueless. Focus on the unromantic skills necessary (mechanics and so on) is nice, too. Optional additional prompt: one part daring, one part economics, and two parts engineering.

Worksafe, at most PG. (Gen, of course.)

( Balthier almost didn't notice the shift, for a moment. )
