Inigo almost sputters a protest. That the hugs thing isn't his point, that what he wants to say is--

But then Tidus seems to already have picked up on the very point Inigo was trying to make before even a single word can leave his mouth. Which is a good thing, since it means he can remain resting against Tidus without moving to protest a thing. Since Tidus knows. That despite their dumb bickering or joking, their friendship can't be shaken. It's like somehow their dumb misunderstanding and subsequent making up during the mission only made it more solid. Inigo knows that he'd be there the second Tidus would need his help with anything at all, no matter whether the other would verbally request it from him or not.

It's what he's musing silently on as they sit there like that, only shaken out of the thoughts by Tidus's words.

"A bit," he softly answers, more honest than he usually is. But it'd feel unfair to lie in a situation like this. "I'm still going to feel dumb for a while."

Even if he does sort things out with Senku. His dumb social mistakes tend to haunt him for a long while.

".. the hold helps, though."
