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.)

"It is, he is very sweet." All the time. He was always helping others and dragging people into sports or other activities. Knowing what he knows of him now makes it even more amazing, Tidus has been through a lot and yet always has time to help and care for others.

He watches Jumblie with a smile as she begins to paint, she really is such a fascinating creature.

[flatteries]

There'll be plenty to see! Because Jumblie sure is going at the page - so much so that Inigo doesn't do anything at first, just leaving he painting job to her since she seems to be having so much fun with it.

Granted, it's not exactly the most elegant paint job. A higgledy's tiny limbs don't exactly make for a very accurate and detailed painting experience. But Jumblie is very, very happily spreading paint all across the page. At least it matches Taiki's own abstract work...

"Feel free to tell her if she's using up too much." Because she sure seems like she won't stop anytime soon on her own.

[longforgottenpromise]

"No it's okay, she can use as much as she likes, I have points so I can get some more if we need to."

It is worth it to see the joy of Jumblie enthusiastically painting the page yellow. Taiki smiled softly as he watched.

"Do you want some paper too, Inigo?"

[flatteries]

"Sure."

Since he's sure now that Taiki doesn't mind. And the other did seem like he wanted to see Inigo paint, so.. well, he'll give it a try, no matter how little confidence he has in it. Anything to make Taiki happy, after all.

"I don't think she's ready to share," he lightly jokes, though he knows Jumblie would if he asked. But she seems so engaged with the paper and the yellow paint, he wouldn't want to interrupt her either when she seems to be having fun.

[longforgottenpromise]

"Yes." He laughed softly, "I think you might need to chose a different colour, Jumblie loves yellow so much."

They might need to buy more yellow paint after this, but Taiki doesn't mind, it's good to see Jumblie so happy.

"Would you like the purple?" His hand moved to the bottle.

[flatteries]

There's a nod from Inigo, and then a quick 'thanks' once Taiki hands him the bottle. At least he's careful to only squeeze out a bit of the paint to use - maybe it's still some slight guilt over the fact that Jumblie is using so much. And while he doesn't want to stop her when she seems so happy and Taiki seems okay with it, he at least wants to balance it with very little paint usage on his part.

Besides, even a little is enough to work with! Especially since Inigo just starts drawing random lines on the paper with it after he's dipped his brush into the paint.

"You know, what do you usually think about when you paint?"

[longforgottenpromise]

"It depends." He smiled, "I used to be trying to remember, so I actually tried to empty my mind and concentrated on the things I didn't know, the things that were... out of reach."

He smiled, "I hadn't painted for a while until I came here, but now I guess I think of Tai."

Which was the same thing, as it was the kingdom that he had forgotten whilst on earth.

[flatteries]

".. that's nice, I think. Thinking of Tai."

Especially since with everything that Inigo heard from Taiki, he can kind of catch onto the idea that it's the same thing.

"Although.. I'm not too sure if I want to think of Ylisse while I'm painting. Is that odd?"

[longforgottenpromise]

He shook his head, "Not at all."

He smiled reassuringly. "You can think of whatever you like, even nothing. Sometimes just thinking about the painting itself..."

[flatteries]

Inigo laughs a little.

"Maybe that's actually better for me! There's too much going on up there."

At least he's aware of it. His tendency to overthink everything, to fuss about every single thing that crosses his path.

"It'd be nice if it could be quiet for a while instead."

[longforgottenpromise]

Taiki smiles softly, "Then it might be good, to not think for a little bit."

It's difficult, to sit with stillness. He overthinks things as well and worries.

"It takes practice, just like painting itself."
