Is this what getting a pet is like for other people? Confusing? It's watching - studying? - him intently, and Tidus is wondering if there's something about his face that's particularly new. Where did it come from? Were these things used to being around people?

...He might be overthinking this encounter. Roland is telling him to introduce himself, so-

"Uh... heya! Wassup?" A beat, and the he brings up a hand. "I'm Tidus, how do you do?"

And he offers the hand, or the forefinger of his hand? Still held out, whichever or whatever the higgledy wants to take, 'cause this is the polite way to act, isn't it? It's certainly less boisterous than the fire one. ...maybe because it's fire?
