Tidus knows Inigo too well. Aside from indeed not having earpieces with him - why would he, he only ever listens to music when he's together with Tidus in the first place - he also definitely is not planning on leaving Tidus himself without one. But he'll at least take the one, not wanting to have some big discussion about it when what's important is quickly getting to their destination.

He silently pops it into his ear, familiar with the process by now. Inigo's glance moves across the higgledies, scattered all across them by this point. Over at Roland, looking determined, and Tidus, joking as always.

Right. That's all they have to do. Stick together, and act like everything is normal.

Inigo feels sick to his stomach with nerves, but he forces it down. Don't let it show. Don't let it show.

"I'm starting to think the real reason we're wearing these," he taps the earpiece in his ear, "is so you won't deafen us on the way there."

He manages to make the joke sound convincing enough, the smile on his face practiced enough to look real. Something about the severity of the situation outside of the room they're in right now makes it easier to fake than usually, even in the presence of two people who know him best.

"We're all ready to go now though, right?"
