Laughing lightly, Balthier scooped Vaan up, hooking an arm under his legs (wherever they were under the blanket mountain) and another around his back. "I may throw him from a building if he complains."

Giving Vaan that smile that stated he really wouldn't but the possibility was there, he shifted the boy in his grasp and made for the exit, slightly surprised at how the boy wasn't really as heavy as he recalled. Though, that was likely because he had a proper grip on him now, and not just a one armed hold.
