There definitely is a moment going over Tidus's head here. Inigo is aware of it the moment Tidus moves his hand up like that, before the other even speaks up. And maybe he ought to clarify, but.. it feels so dumb. That whole moment felt so dumb. He feels dumb thinking about it even now, just one of those dumb social mistakes he's made that will haunt him for years to come, feeling like it's kicking him in the gut each time.

And he definitely feels that awful gut feeling all over again. But he knows-- he can't. Not right now, not in front of Taiki and Tidus, not when they're busy celebrating Taiki having been able to achieve something this amazing. This isn't about his dumb feelings and mistakes and ugh.

So Inigo quickly smiles, forces himself to as he shakes his head at Tidus, mouthing a quick "it's nothing" before turning to Taiki, stretching out his hand to gently pet him.

"It's kind of odd, touching you like this! Not in a bad way though." La la la. Nothing going on here. It's cool. Definitely not kicking himself all over for his dumb mistake back then, only drawn back more into the light by Taiki mentioning his horn explicitly again now.
