Hey guys, forget about that public breakdown the other day. Today Inigo is on the ICP with a big smile, seeming as cheerful as ever. It's fine. It's cool.

"Good day, everyone! Tidus and I brought some things back with us from Irivar to share with everyone. So why not come over to the standard coach and see if there's anything you'd like to take with you, hm? We have quite the selection! Oh, and.. erm, Taiki, Roland, Bryn and Della.. If you could make sure to come see us, we'd appreciate it! Otherwise I might have to send Ti--"

Before Inigo can even finish the sentence, there's an offscreen obviously very Tidus-y voice calling out, "Inigo! Ask for Sakura too!"

Inigo huffs, turning his gaze to the off screen source. "I was getting to that!" (No he wasn't.) Apparently he accidentally pulled his ticket off the ICP as he starts moving away from it too, because the feed just cuts out. Just come get some sweet stuff.

Their set-up in the standard car is a simple, if messy, one. They have a few of their offered freebies on the same table they occupy, each guy facing the other, sat by the wall. From the immediate front, fragrant bags sit no bigger than a palm, a variety of scents better to tell when held to the nose. Whetstones sit stacked mostly on top of one another, and then a cluster of hair ribbons and circular hair ties behind them. Behind the bags are a few scent oils--basically, perfumes, if not very big. There's a few to choose from, but...

...not as many as there are the soaps, which take up a half of the table in their choice. It's like a lush shop here of choice, different colours and sizes.

And Inigo and Tidus? Sit there, either playing cards or fiddling through the paper craft book available from the art supplies where the old library used to be.

A chalkboard sits balanced, with the words 'FREE 2 TAKE' written in big letters. In case you missed the public announcement.

1:
Come up, and have a look. Ask about what they've got.

2:
Or while you're here, maybe you can help Tidus, who pipes up to ask-

"Hey, quick question. How long 'til you're comfortable hugging someone?"

(ooc: as a note, all threads on this will be threeways! please enjoy trying to handle both teens at once. you can't seperate them.)

Piccolo wasn't here for any of the free stuff--come on, what would he even need any of it for much less why wouldn't he just make it on his own if he did?--but rather just passing through. He paused to sneeze as the smell of the many fragrances got to him. He didn't look like he liked any of the items in here thanks to all the smell floating around.

He didn't manage to make it out of the carriage though before Tidus caught him off guard with the question. After the initial surprise on his face his expression turned into a hard flat line of non-amusement.

"No."




That was it. That was his answer.
blitzcheer: (ummmooo)

Tidus didn't expect Piccolo to need anything. Actually, maybe he might've taken a look? But Piccolo can magic up a lot of things. ...does he even need to wash? Just he just magic himself clean?

That may have been a consideration, before he decided to throw out the blitzball of a question Piccolo's way. 'Cause why not?

And while Inigo is sitting there feeling a strange tension out of nowhere, Tidus is oblivious. Because Piccolo answers 'no', and he may have seen a certain scene not that long ago that lifts the edges of his mouth. Tidus looks at Inigo and gives him the smallest tip of the head, a signal to 'hold up', while he returns back to the green pal.

"Not even if you're a cute lil' girl with pink hair and a cute smile...?" he asks, innocently. I n n o c e n t l y.



Some people do not understand the forces they be messing with.

Piccolo's eyes widened at Tidus's comeback question. He most definitely had not counted on that coming into the conversation. He scowled ferociously and turned his head away as a deep purple color spread up his cheeks and all the way to the tips of his pointed ears.

"That was....one time! And she--!"

She was most definitely the one to initiate it! He never would have thought of doing such a gesture. Ugh, Tidus had hit a weak spot. How to refute a thing that clearly had happened?

"..............don't ever expect one, all right? You're not that cute."
blitzcheer: (boooo to you!!)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-10-07 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Tidus is about to speak when Inigo interrupts, both in how he stands and the theatrics that follow it. Wide-eyed in surprised, realising how far Inigo's gone-

Well this just means Tidus has to stand up too, his fists pumped.

"Yeah! I'm cute enough for a hug! Come on, Piccolo, I wanna give you a hug!"

COME ON P-GREEN IT'S HUGGING TIME.
shutupnail: (oh em eff gee what just happened.)

[personal profile] shutupnail 2020-10-11 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Piccolo was startled by Inigo's reaction to his words. It was a very passionate response.

More concerning, however, was Tidus's follow-up to this. Piccolo's face contorted into something beyond mere surprise, heavily implying he was horrified by the teen's sudden interest in hugging. It was, in all honestly, more comical than anything else.

"Wh-what? Why--!" He actually took a step back. "What did I just say!? No. Absolutely not!"
blitzcheer: (huffy duffy puffy)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-10-11 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Taking a step back, Piccolo? It must be because Tidus is slipping away from the table, out of the booth. Arms folding indignantly across his chest, only now a walking distance separating the pair.

"It's just a hug! What's the worse that can happen?" Tidus pauses, leans slightly forward for effect.

"You're not scared of a hug...are you, Piccolo?"

"No," he said with the hint of a low growl in his tone. He looked miffed for a few more seconds in silence. "It's just a dumb gesture that I don't need."

He pointed a finger at Tidus. "Especially not from you."

He's going to keep pretending that if he just keeps teasing Tidus with slightly mean but no real venom to his words that maybe he can get out of this without succumbing to the embarrassment of an actual hug. Seriously, why was this even a topic of discussion. And how did he manage to get into this position of being on the potential end of receiving one??
blitzcheer: (get rid of dad)

Wow bro, here we thought Inigo would be standing up in defence of hugs! - and okay, he was, but that was a lot more about him. Which, thanks bro. But-

"I've got this, Inigo," he says assuredly; with a resolve that is absolutely misplaced in this situation. Cue the shounen friendship track anyway. "A hug isn't something you need, but that doesn't make it stupid. Sometimes it says a lot! And you know what Piccolo? You've helped me out a bunch and this whole train, and I've never been able to give you anything for it."

He's been slooowly walking up to Piccolo...! "But you know what I wanna give to you for it?"

Arms. Opening. Up.

"My thanks."

HERE HE COMES PICCOLO, GET READY FOR THE HUUUUUG.
shutupnail: (now you're just making me cringe.)

Piccolo stared at Inigo with partial bemusement at his defense of Tidus. It would have been more commendable if it didn't sound and look so childish. The Namek didn't look all that impressed.

However, he had other concerns for the moment.

His eyes flicked to Tidus and slowly grew wide as he figured out where the blond was going with this. He took an automatic step back but he was determined to save face. He couldn't just run away from such a silly thing without a good reason.

He froze in place and cringed as Tidus moved towards him.

"..you really don't have to..."
