The moment Balthier saw the bullet he fired exit the wound of the assailtant and her looking his way, Balthier began strafing around her to make himself a harder target to hit. When the assailant shot the bullet back, it narrowly missed his head, only scraping past his right cheeck.
Seeing as how the assailtant now was stationary as she prepared to block Bullets blow, Balthier took the time to carefully aim, not wanting to miss his mark and hit Bullet instead. We would have fired, were it not for the fact that both Ryu and Edgar had engaged the assailant in melee combat. Balthier grunted as the risk of friendly fire became far too great. He slightly lowered the barrel of his rifle and moved around, waiting for a opening.
OoC @Rosh: I actually prefer the Drill. Chain has a chance to become a insta-kill attack, wich sucks because more often then not, it misses.
@Slenn: Sure do.
