Balthier pokes around on the beach, but does not find any food. He does find, however, a little inlet. The water slowly passes into a small cave entrance on the inside, and the river is teeming with fish. Continuing on, he continues on the beach, finding that to his belief, this is an island, and not a spit of land coming off of a larger continent.
Aldrec finds that the "mechanisms" that hold the platform together are simple physics, and that they are simple posts tied together with lashings. The fire spews black smoke from the leaves that he adds to the fire, allowing Balthier to explore the island even farther.
Feeling confident, Balthier steps towards the cave. The buzzing sound is louder, and seems to be coming from inside.
However, from outside the cave, he is being watched. Jim peers down at Balthier, hidden in a bush above the cave entrance. Beside him is a sack. Jim knows the contents of his sack already. He knows very well what is inside.
