The warning signs, oh they were right there with Taiki's words, and yet--well, no, Tidus knows Inigo would, instead of simply pretending to or anything like that. And yet he still doesn't think to hide his hands away or do something about it when Inigo clearly comes for him.

It must have been a moment of idiocy. He blanked. His senses failed him! There's no other reason for this to happen!

...alright, it's not that bad. It's just weird, and he can't believe he somehow enabled their chatting to go in this direction. What a fool he was...!

"Yeah yeah, I know," he says with a sigh, looking at them once with an embarrassed frown on his face before ducking his head. He doesn't know what to do about that squeeze, the earnest quality that Inigo seems to speak with (sorta). But his cheeks are dumb and warm, bugging him until he finally sighs again, louder this time.

"Aren't we getting distracted here? We're all friends, Inigo's okay--" he lifts his racquet up in his still free hand. "Let's keep playing!"

He doesn't pull his hand away, but he also never holds it back.
