Taiki's got some moves! In that, he's moving at all, and Tidus couldn't be happier to watch the other guy participating. It's not that he had any doubts that the guy wouldn't try, but he also didn't really know how well this would go to start off with- but then, Taiki's pretty much the one who showed him and all that kids how to play soccer, even if Tidus had the one to match the kids better in energy.

But it's alright that some friends are TRAITOROUS and SHOWING FAVOURITISM on the other side, though Tidus doesn't see it as so. What he's seeing and focusing on is where the shuttlecock comes back, its journey over to him a visible and easy to analyse destination. He kicks his legs into a shot sprint to meet it, swings back his racquet and sends it flying back to the other side, to whoever-- who will be the one it's heading towards this time!?
