It's true. Inigo knows nothing of sports, and honestly, he knows very little about celebrity either. Despite being a prince, he was much too young when everything started to fall apart to really know how fame works, how famous people get treated. (And even then, there's still a huge gap between medieval royalty and modern sports stars.)

So Tidus's explanation is completely new to him. Even though he still looks a bit sad while he listens, but it's just his mood dragging on, really. He's trying to understand.

So he slowly nods.

"So you don't mind me hugging you..?" He first looks at Tidus, but then, nervous to hold his gaze while asking such a vulnerable question, he can't help but glance at Kitty too. It feels so awkward to do this in front of her, but.. "Or should I do it less? Or do something different? I want to do what's most comfortable for you. I-- I won't complain about it anymore either. Or try to, anyway."
