[The farewell earns a nod, ending the interaction.
It stays in his thoughts for awhile, more than he expects. It just strikes him as odd how casual and friendly the whole thing had been. There aren't many who would treat Dedue like that, especially since he does not really excel with conversation. Yet, that doesn't seem to bother Balthus in the least. It's oddly refreshing. Or perhaps Balthus will become bored with him once the novelty has worn off engaging in interactions with someone like Dedue. That is also possible.
Eventually, he does make his way to Abyss per the invitation made. It's... a colorful experience, yet so mundane. While no other people of Duscur are here, he's given a glance over out of mere curiosity by some rather than a suspicious glare. Even the children that are here don't seem to think twice about him, which is different from how often he's caused them to cry on the surface. It's strange, and he's almost at a loss for it.
The tavern in question is not far from the entrance, making it easy enough to find. He doesn't indulge in drink much and he still doesn't really plan to, but perhaps his being here will be enough.]
