[ Inigo's glad to see that smile. He really doesn't know how to deal with Tidus when he gets more quiet. Because no matter how much he whines about Tidus's teasing, or his jokes, there's a part of Inigo that actually enjoys the banter. Just. Not in the moment.

But Tidus being sad, or in pain.. that's harder. Especially when Inigo can't just somehow solve it. Can't magically make things better. So he clings onto that smile, onto those words. We're gonna make the best of our time together. ]

.. Alright. I believe in you two. You obviously like her so much, so.. that means something. [ That will have existed, will have meant something, even when Tidus and Yuna will have to say goodbye. ]

As for me..

[ His voice trails off, and he pulls his hand through his hair in that way he sometimes does when he gets nervous. ]

There's a lot of things I'm not great at talking about. To anyone. But.. I could tell you sometime. [ He's already told Tidus more than he's told anyone, after all. Even though there's still some major details missing. ] If you really want to know. I just don't want things to change between us.

Why would they change? [ It's more disbelief than a question, an unconvincing possibility. ] I don't think there's anything you could share that'd change our friendship. You're you! I trust you.

[ If Inigo liked the return of some of Tidus's enthusiasm before, it even quicker comes back in that assertion, none of it forced. Inigo is Inigo, so Tidus is doubtful he's going to learn anything about the guy that'd get him to think differently. He folds his arms. ]

It'll be fine!

You better not take that back, you got it?

[ His tone is a little lighter as he says it, slightly more joking. Because Inigo doesn't want to be the one to drag down the mood now, and.. well, it's hard to not at least smile a little in the face of such unwavering belief radiating off Tidus. It's nice, knowing someone has that much faith in their friendship - especially when said friendship is so important to Inigo. ]

If I turn out to be some sort of evil swamp monster, I still expect you to be my friend!

[blitzcheer]

You're doing bad on the evil part then! [ He gives Inigo a friendly slap on the arm. Swamp monster? ehhh whatever!! ]

C'mon, how 'bout we get out of here and doing something fun? Unless you really like cleaning all on your own.

[ He heaves a dramatic sigh, slowly managing to fall back into the usual antics. ]

It's called winning your trust so I can strike when you least expect it! [ Geez, Tidus! It's as if you've never heard of an evil plan before! ]

But.. sure, let's go do that. I could use an actual distraction.
