Seeing his plan produce fruit brought Balthazar's trademark smirk out as the dashing young man surveyed the area; it looked like this street was clear for the most part. The blue-skinned girl introduced herself with a pleasant smile, earning a gallant nod and a cheerful disposition from the blond young man.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(85, 57, 130)">"That's a cute name,"</span>Balthazar responded with a playful wink.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(85, 57, 130)">"Name's Balthazar; B'Zar for short, if you prefer."</span><br/><br/>He'd be lying if he said he didn't find the blue girl attractive, but his mind grappled with itself. On the one hand, he had built up a sufficient lead to buffer the time he was taking right now -- but on the other, he couldn't afford not to be one of the 0.2% accepted into UA. Apollo was holding things down for the time being at home, but it was under the assumption that Balthazar was undergoing something that could change all of their lives.

Still, the urgency didn't show on his face; instead, it looked as though he was coasting through life without a care in the world.
