Indeed he understood. His own commitment to Fran might've been a far cry for the type of bond Ashe and Rasler held but he was still commited to his Viera partner. His trust in her was the deepest and, whilst he trusted others to an extent, he would take Fran's word over any other. She was who he loved most and, even if they would never truly be, he would hold that love for her for he remainder of his life. Not that he'd ever tell anyone that.
"I am glad to know you've found your happiness, Princess. Whilst I might seem like the worst person to speak to concerning matters of the heart, I am truly happy to know you are in love. I hear it is rather a wonderous experience," he murmured, his smile a little more playful than it had been. It was true that, back in Ivalice, Balthier was famous not only for his great feats of daring and piracy, but also for leaving a string of broken hearts and lonely bedmates as long as the walk from Archades to Rozarria, so it would be no real surprise that he hadn't been in love. As far as anyone was to know, at least.
