It's a good thing Lea is so quick to say that it's fine, because Tidus's words are about to get Inigo to stammer. Mostly since he feels like Tidus may still be pulling his leg here, but then there's the possibility of Lea being hurt for real if he doesn't hug him now! Maybe he should do it after all?

Thankfully that's solved rather neatly by Lea saying he'd prefer to wait. See, he's fine!

"Tidus has been asking that to pretty much everyone who's been passing by."

That's apparently all the explanation Inigo provides. Getting into the details is much too embarrassing - not to mention it'll probably make him feel like the weirdo here for liking to hug all over again. He's not burning his hand on that stove, thanks.
