#that look and bal's reaction kind of reminded me of that trope with long-term couples

Okay, but when the train pulls up and Ambrosius is waiting for them with the guards...

Ballister saw Ambrosius' face and then scrambled to hide...

Which honestly seemed a little out of character to me for a second because surely he isn't scared of these guards like that. He's beat their butts in training for most of their lives, right? (At least that's my headcannon)

It had to have been seeing Ambrosius that made him scurry like he's trying to hide from his crush.

More specifically, this is what I think was going on:

*pulls up to the station*

Nimona: We're here! Aww, and so are your friends!

Ballister thinking: shit, is Amby here? Is he mad?

Ballister *peaks out the window*

Ambrosius *major frowny face*

Ballister, who has had to deal with the 'disapproving hubbie face' only once before and hoped to never be on the other side of it again: gaaaah, oh shit, Bae is mad. Bae is very very mad.

I mean, I know they're both dealing with their own versions of feeling betrayed by the other in this scene, but I can't help but think Ballister has definitely seen that face before, (either at him like once or twice, and/or at countless people who had picked on Bal and did NOT live to tell the tale) and developed an instinctual "boyfriend is pissed, oh shit oh shit oh shit" kind of response.
