This is exactly why he was trying to avoid the topic!
Since Inigo knew this was going to happen. He knew that one way or another this conversation would end up painting him as the big baby here. Inigo, a 17 year old, for all intents and purposes an adult back home, yet can't go without hugs. It's him, he's the big blubbering baby. He knows, okay!
"No, I'm not!"
And yet Inigo's volume rises as if he is upset. And he is! Just not with Senku, just with-- with this conversation. With himself. With everything.
At least it makes him look back up towards the other two and even stand up for a moment.
"It's okay, I don't need to hug you! I just--!" He glances between Tidus and Senku's faces, and after a moment Inigo's cheeks slowly start to grow red. Is there some glassiness in his eyes too? No, clearly that's just your imagination. He's not crying. He's not a baby.
Inigo sits back down. "I promised Senku. That I wouldn't hug him. And you probably want me to promise you that too now, huh, Tidus?" Because Naga knows he's annoyed with Inigo's dumb hugging habits, right.
