Tidus considers swivelling his gaze over to Inigo at that, but in the end, it's Inigo; Inigo speaking as Inigo's going to speak, and it's not that big of a crime. Just maybe a word stronger than he'd use, but hey, he isn't being asked for confirmation, so he isn't going to say anything to ruin the moment.
There's an old man being sappy between them after all. ... and admittedly, Tidus enjoys the scenery of the pair: Inigo hugging Roland, the both of them happy. Content. There may be the trace of worry he had before about the relationship between the pair, but right now... he's glad for the both of them, to have the other to support them. Is this just what some people need?
Maybe, you find what you need when life takes it once - in other people searching to fill a hole too.
Or, something like that.
More than that, Tidus wonders about Roland's reaction, the strength of it, on what it reflects and says. But Roland speaks it himself, and Tidus understands the story that Roland probably isn't sharing. That sure, a guy like him got presents, but there's a difference between getting gifts for what you are, and who you are.
A President's got to be popular - but someone getting something for you will always mean something else.
He won't make any remarks to the signs of emotion slipping through in Roland's demeanour, the weight of his voice. Tidus just keeps smiling, watch them, and then raising a brow when asked for aid.
"Show you? You don't know how to do it?" It's incredulous to Tidus for a second, and then, more surprised: "You don't have it where you're from?"
He's been thinking Roland's world is closer to Zanarkand's product level than Inigo's, but now he's not so sure...
