This is not a typical reaction for Inigo. Especially not at Roland of all people. Tidus would be more the type to react to the old man this way than Inigo ever would be, and yet as his embarrassment at seeing the magazine gets dialled up to eleven with the words Roland says, all Inigo can think is ugh. Ugh. UUUUGH. Why this, dad! Why embarrass him, huh? It's as if he can feel Jumblie warming up his face, but no, she's not even out right now, that's just his dumb blush!!
He grabs the magazine in order to be able to hide his face behind it, pondering how socially acceptable it would be to just stay like this. It seems like the better solution at this point.
But then Tidus speaks up.
And Inigo's heart would break if he'd lie in the face of the other's genuine concern, just for the sake of his own embarrassment.
So he slowly drops the magazine back on the table, even with his face still so red that it threatens to colour his hair purple.
"N-No, it's just bad, it's just.." What can he even say that isn't lying, yet also not admitting to something really embarrassing either?! "I-It was unexpected. But-- I'll read it. All of it. I promise."
Ugh, he's dying! But he's not done yet! Inigo quickly turns his face towards Roland, ready to get this CLEAR MISUNDERSTANDING out of this world as soon as possible. "Tidus got me one of these about dancing before. Or.. well, it was more coincidental that time, but.. still. It's kind of nice. Since my mother loved dancing so much."
You hear that, Roland!! It was just his mom!! Don't get any weird ideas about him wanting to dance, dad!!
