Who: Inigo, Tidus (aka the two shared braincells duo) and you!
Where: The standard coach
When: Horseshoe 17
What: Inigo and Tidus are handing out free stuff because Tidus is the train's official sugar daddy.
Warnings: Probably nothing, will edit if necessary.
---
Hey guys, forget about that public breakdown the other day. Today Inigo is on the ICP with a big smile, seeming as cheerful as ever. It's fine. It's cool.
"Good day, everyone! Tidus and I brought some things back with us from Irivar to share with everyone. So why not come over to the standard coach and see if there's anything you'd like to take with you, hm? We have quite the selection! Oh, and.. erm, Taiki, Roland, Bryn and Della.. If you could make sure to come see us, we'd appreciate it! Otherwise I might have to send Ti--"
Before Inigo can even finish the sentence, there's an offscreen obviously very Tidus-y voice calling out, "Inigo! Ask for Sakura too!"
Inigo huffs, turning his gaze to the off screen source. "I was getting to that!" (No he wasn't.) Apparently he accidentally pulled his ticket off the ICP as he starts moving away from it too, because the feed just cuts out. Just come get some sweet stuff.
---
Their set-up in the standard car is a simple, if messy, one. They have a few of their offered freebies on the same table they occupy, each guy facing the other, sat by the wall. From the immediate front, fragrant bags sit no bigger than a palm, a variety of scents better to tell when held to the nose. Whetstones sit stacked mostly on top of one another, and then a cluster of hair ribbons and circular hair ties behind them. Behind the bags are a few scent oils--basically, perfumes, if not very big. There's a few to choose from, but...
...not as many as there are the soaps, which take up a half of the table in their choice. It's like a lush shop here of choice, different colours and sizes.
And Inigo and Tidus? Sit there, either playing cards or fiddling through the paper craft book available from the art supplies where the old library used to be.
A chalkboard sits balanced, with the words 'FREE 2 TAKE' written in big letters. In case you missed the public announcement.
1:
Come up, and have a look. Ask about what they've got.
2:
Or while you're here, maybe you can help Tidus, who pipes up to ask-
"Hey, quick question. How long 'til you're comfortable hugging someone?"
(ooc: as a note, all threads on this will be threeways! please enjoy trying to handle both teens at once. you can't seperate them.)

2. obviously.
"Right now. Right now I am comfortable hugging everyone."
It's happening, boys, don't fight it.

No.
No no no no.
Pointing straight at Inigo. "He'll take it."

ALSO 2.
In comparison, the question is much more normal.
"It... depends? Sometimes I'm comfortable right away, or within days, but if we don't get close that quickly... it can be a while?"
Got it. We have a winner here, folks.
thank u for ur answer
So he says, but Tidus has a face like he's still processing it, and he sounds it too. This is obviously a very important subject of debate, yet here they are, trying to figure it out in a train coach.
"Kids are right away, right? But with another person-" You know, another person, and Tidus motions his hands left and right, waving them a bit, "An arm over the shoulders is cool, but you wouldn't think about going in for a hug with just anyone, would you? Unless they went in first! Orrrr... uhhh..."
Look this is hard to think about.

Following that 2 train
"It guess it depends on how well we get along," she says after a moment. "If we're good enough friends, I wouldn't mind hugging them."
Glancing at the two, she smiles. "But yeah, I'd probably say I'm on hugging terms with both of you."

“What is this?” Free to take is great and all, but he wants to understand what he's taking before just yoinking things to bring back to his room.

"It can vary, depending on my feelings about the individual. Sworn enemies...not very huggy. Good friends, they only have to ask." He gives Tidus a look. "Is that your way of asking for a hug?"

"Anyway, what brought this up? You want one?"
no subject
Then again, the other seems to have a decent opinion on hugs. Not to mention that, despite the familiar red hair, he sure is having a way better attiude than another certain redhead here on the train.
"Yes."
Inigo knows this is probably a dumb idea, teasing Tidus over this. But he feels kind of embarrassed that Tidus is just asking people about this so casually, so the least Tidus ought to do is feel the same embarrassment in turn. So he's making sure to quickly speak up before Tidus can open his mouth--
"He really wanted a hug. You can't deprive him of that, right?"

"You two sure about giving all this out? I don't exactly have much to exchange for it, but this seems uneven."
no subject
Maybe Inigo shouldn't be the one saying this, considering they bought all of it with Tidus's gold. But they've been sitting here handing out things for a while now, so he's pretty assured the other absolutely doesn't mind.
Inigo even laughs as he gestures at the hair ties the older guy is looking at.
"We don't exactly have much use for those, as you can see." Not that Inigo is against the idea of hair accessoires! But it's not like either he or Tidus have enough hair to tie up in any meaningful way to begin with..

2, of course
"I don't." He responded. "I don't hug anyone."
inigo is just like "no ❤"
Nope, nope, nope. This is not a discussion they're going to have. Not with Senku of all people. Because the talk he had with the other guy literally just the other day is still fresh in Inigo's mind, and the last thing he wants to have happen is Tidus demanding boundaries too. He might just open a door and throw himself out into the void if that happens.
"Senku!" Which is why Inigo is just.. speaking up. A little too quickly. Nothing suspicious here, people, move right along. "Have you looked at everything we have here yet? I was wondering if there's something among it that could maybe be useful to you!"
YEAH, LET'S FOCUS ON THIS. NO MORE HUGS TALK. OKAY.

1 and 2, why not
"That really depends on the person. And the kind of hug we're talking about."
no subject
So Inigo is going to do the smart thing here. He's just going to stay entirely quiet, seemingly very, very focused on his cards here. Like he may somehow not get noticed by her that way.

2.
He didn't manage to make it out of the carriage though before Tidus caught him off guard with the question. After the initial surprise on his face his expression turned into a hard flat line of non-amusement.
"No."
That was it. That was his answer.
no subject
What is up with this guy? Is it just Inigo, or did it just somehow get colder in here? He awkwardly glances between Piccolo and Tidus for a few moments, wondering if there's some sort of weird rivalry going on here or something.. Or does this guy just always talk this way? Not like Inigo would know.
So rather than speaking up and saying anything to Piccolo, Inigo just glances over at Tidus, mouthing an uncertain but silent 'what's up??' at him. Is Inigo missing something here?

Time to sniff them all and find the least...scented. But as he pokes, he still finds time to answer the question he overhears.
"...the ideal time is never."
Beat.
"But for a more...normal person...you can't go wrong with asking if they want it first."
no subject
And of course a wild, wild statement like that first part is going to draw Inigo's attention and make him speak up.
"Let's not talk about this in terms of normal." Look, Inigo finds it abnormal to never hug, but he's.. trying over here. He knows he finds it hurtful too when people treat him all weird just for being a hug fiend. "Though never getting hugs sounds a little.. sad?"

A good few days for quieter activities. Still he was very glad to hear Inigo's voice over the ICP's, and Tidus in the background. Very relieved, to hear that they had made up again. He had been worried about them.
He had been planning on going to find them both anyways, but this made it easier. He paused only to gather the things he had for them and then made his way carefully to the standard coach.
When he sees them he smiles, only a little nervously. The last two weeks have been... difficult. He moves closer. "Um... Hello. You wanted to see me?"
no subject
"Yes!" Inigo makes sure to smile as widely as possible. "You're exactly the person we wanted to see so bad!"
He's patting a seat, apparently not even noticing yet that Taiki has brought something along himself while he's so caught up in welcoming the other.
"Come on, sit down!"

"Hugging? I have no problem with it. It's just an expression of comradeship and fondness. Depends on how long you hug and what your hands are doing, really." There's that sly grin.
no subject
Which Tidus says with confidence, but then, by some wandering thought (on wandering hands)-
"Inigo?"
Looking at you questioningly, bro.

Eventually he wanders to the standard car, and is visibly surprised to see wares spread out, a pleasant scent wafting around the nearby space. It's...really nice!
"You know," he starts off casually, playfully. Some of his hands begin to drift towards the perfumed oils, soaps, and the hair ties with a gleam in his eye. "If you two wanted to tell me I should be cleaning up more often, you could have just told me to my face. But I don't mind taking some of these off your hands. Heh."
Of course, his understanding is simply to come partake of their collection. Did they manage to get all of this in Irivar? Roland shoots Tidus a knowing look. I'm glad the troll clubs saw you through.
no subject
'Remembering the time'? What a laugh, Roland. But Tidus is giving him his own look at Roland gets comfortable with looking at the freebies, a chiding thing that's far from serious.
But Tidus will need to slip out of the seat for this, since their current table is currently pre-occupied with all the bits already on it. He goes to the opposite table, throwing over his shoulder without looking back: "Why don't you two hug and get all cosy?"
It's sarcasm, but Tidus is 50/50 on what he'll see once he looks. For now, he's bringing out a collection of blankets neatly folded into squares, and setting them out; all with their own pattern, but coloured and patterned, all handcrafted. There's more to be given, but they can start here first.

To her surprise, the objects that were presented weren't half bad! She's so impressed with the abundance that she takes a moment to smell, touch, and feel most every object and item that is there.
Her eyes wide she glances up at the two boys, a look of amazement and curiosity on her face. "All of these are free?" They all could sell for quite a lot of coins were she back at home. This was a very generous gesture!
no subject
And maybe they were clueless as to what else to buy for a train with, what, a hundred people? Too Many, some might say - and that was a good count.
"But you can take a couple of soaps, for sure. We've got more. Plus the different smells are nice, huh? I like it just sitting here."

"Why do you ask? Having problems showing affection to one another?" If you are assuming she is thinking about something,.... you probably assume correctly.

Horseshoe 23
Taiki was sat at one of the tables in the standard carriage, painting. He doesn't really have anything in mind, adding watercolours to the page carefully, letting the painting take shape.
It's a lot more... abstract than the work he did earlier in the month. But it's peaceful, art for the sake of art.
He pauses a couple of times to glance out of the window or to pet Gyōko who was snuffling around the table.
no subject
He calls, from the end of the train coming from the gymnasium. A hand raising to catch Taiki's gaze, a purple drink bottle in the other than swings slightly as Tidus makes his way over. Up closer, the signs of damp hair and warm skin might get Taiki's notice, a body recently showered.
Without asking, Tidus slips into the booth with the guy, a small, 'Hey, Gyoko!' given to the small fella when he spots him. But he sighs, content to be sitting down, arching his neck this way and that to relieve an ache.
"Having fun, Taiki?"
