Irvine saw the smirk and heard the excitement and put two and two together to see what could seem like Selphie being somewhat very friendly with Balthier. He sighed to Nida and replied, "Look at her Nida, she's happy, why am I gonna ruin her good time cause of my own feelings." He shook his head looking down and stated, "You wouldn't understand Nida."
