[ He slowly nods..

Until a realisation seems to hit him. ]

Tidus.

[ Bro. Dude. ]

Do you remember how Roland got all.. odd when we started talking about drinking? [ Bro, what if he gets that way about this drugs thing too? Bro!!! ]

[blitzcheer]

[ Tidus's expression is blank for a moment.


...

... before the realisation dawns on him that Inigo's right, and that look - mostly reserved for Roland, or is it better reserved for the train? - drags down on his features, a soured face thing with a protruding bottom lip. ]

Ugh, oh right. [ Right. ] Well... we won't tell him 'til they've been made.

[ ... ]

Or never. He can't stop us, anyway. He can have one or not, simple as! I'm buying 'em!

[flatteries]

Maybe never is for the better.

[ Please, he just really doesn't want a lecture from Roland about it! What if he makes that 'I'm not mad, just disappointed' face again? Inigo may just cry. Cry while being high as heck on an edible. It'll be a total disaster. ]

.. unless. [ Don't mind Inigo here as he momentarily turns into unless rat at a sudden realisation, turning towards Tidus. (Though still with a respectful distance.

The post-sex-talk awkwardness still lingers in that.) ]

Unless we can find out in a sneaky way what he thinks about that stuff before we offer it to him!

[ Tidus is considering this idea. Look at the way he's got his gaze aside, thoughtful, his arms crossing as he doesn't hold the mead bottle.

...

...

How about we skip that and give him one without saying?

[ He's half-serious, but look at him present it like a good idea. ]

[flatteries]

[ Look at him present that as a good idea when it's actually the worst idea.

In fact, Inigo starts sputtering before Tidus has even fully finished that last word. ]

W-What do you mean, without saying? He might get so mad afterwards!

[ PLEASE, SOME OF US ARE DADDY'S BOYS. ]

[blitzcheer]

Or he'll chill out for once! A whole day doing nothing but feeling relaxed? Roland could do with a day like that!

What a great idea, Inigo!

[ Yes, 'a great idea, Inigo'. Why not, why don't we fluster this boy some more, grinning wide and looking pleased while doing it. ]

[flatteries]

Tidus!

[ He really shouldn't be falling for it this easily, especially when Tidus has that expression on his face he always has when he starts about these sorts of things, when he's trying to goad Inigo into having this sort of dramatic reaction.

But with how flustered he already is about this whole idea, he can't help it. He reacts before even a single thought crosses his brain, whines and all. ]

You can't do that! You're going to make him mad at us! Come on!

[blitzcheer]

[ This! This is exactly what Tidus wanted to see. Is this what one would really call 'lifting up' Inigo's mood? But it's nothing like it was before, that Tidus feels comfortable slapping him arm across his shoulders, giving the other guy a light nudge, a laugh fresh from his mouth. ]

What! Isn't life more fun with a lil' danger in it? A lil' danger called getting the old man mad? Huh?

[ Heheheh! ]
