Seeing the familiar red laser sights trace across the floor and the walls towars the stairs, Balthier dived down them and rolled when he hit the ground to break his fall. Jumping back to his feet, he made a dash towards one of the containers to take cover. As he ran however, Balthier made a sound that was a combination of coughing and gurgling and fell over when one of the sniper's managed to shoot him in the gut. After crawling towards the cover and pressing his back against it, Balthier looked down to size up the damage done. Were he not in intense pain, Baltthier would groan upon finding that the bullet didn't go through and through, but rather had lodged itself in his bowel, meaning it would hurt even more comming out then it did going it when his regenerating abilities would kick in. For the moment, Balthier sat back and waited for just that to happen.
