Argh, this is too much. Somewhere between Tidus teasingly pointing out the fatherly implications in what Roland says - though he doesn't think that was aimed at just him here, bro, he's sure Roland would want to play sports with Tidus and do anything he enjoys as well - and Roland's actual words, so soft and happy, Inigo can feel his face start to colour slightly. It's just.. it feels precious. If this train is giving someone like Roland a second chance, someone so consistently hard-working, thrown around from one world to another, then at least that's one good thing about all this.
Inigo is still going to ignore Tidus's initial teasing for the good of his own heart though, instead working on putting the flowers back into the braid, leaving it looking very much like this.
Then he moves from behind Roland to instead sit next to him again. Close enough that he can lean a bit against the other. Inigo is trying to not get full on gooey with Tidus present, afraid of further teasing, but it's hard under the current circumstances.
"Well, if you think it'd be fun, then of course you can help me." He does give Roland a smile at that, though with a slightly shy edge to it - an edge that doesn't disappear as he turns his head towards Tidus. "And I.. I guess I wouldn't mind giving more complicated ones a try. I can't back down on a challenge when it's coming from you, can I?"
Look, he's just trying to find a less sappy way to say 'thanks for your faith in me, bro'!!
