...That was some reaction. But the surprising thing to Roland is that Inigo seems more upset at what Tidus bought and not the act of buying something using his ticket without permission. He's begun to touch the tip of the braid now, momentarily forgetting that Inigo's asked him not to bother with it until he's given off his seal of approval.

It's also the matter of how Inigo is reacting. The magazine about ballet, about dance, and then now as he rushes to explain to Roland with a fiery gaze about how this is his mother's hobby. It softens his expression somewhat. He remembers that Inigo preferred dancing over sword fighting lessons, which is why Lucina and Inigo swapped places during their classes. But that only meant Inigo himself was fond of dancing to some level, since he made the easy choice to switch with his sister.

"I see."

It's quite clear then, that Inigo might have some lingering shyness holding him back. So, in his reading of the room, Roland just nods and withholds his own insight on the matter - that Inigo actually does quite enjoy dancing, partly due to the influence of Olivia, but also just as he is. The worst thing that could happen was he accidentally pushes the hobby so far back Inigo won't even think to pursue it out of fear.

Roland gently throws the braid back against his shoulder and resumes to busy himself with his new gifts on the table. The smile on his face, light and easy.

"Well, I hope you learn something new about dancing after reading this. We're no dancers ourselves," And yes, he is speaking on both of your behalves, Tidus! "But our ears are always open if you want to talk about it." Or, if you want an audience. Cough.
