Funnily enough, I think it's also his best scene. The scene does open up with Balthier complimenting Vaan for a reason; he basically took charge and stood his ground against Joté very well, and in "the two sides of the same coin" of Vaan's straightforwardness to me it most directly conveys what the whole point of Vaan as a character is. He doesn't get lost in needless complications, for better or worse. I always felt the party was kinda ridiculously harsh on him for asking Fran her age. Feels like it earns more of a headpat over still being a boy than an annoyed "try to grow up, please". But well, we're not supposed to take it seriously I suppose.
