[ Tidus is being so unsubtle here, it's almost as if he's Inigo or something.
But it's obvious that Taiki - as ever - is way too polite to press further on what Tidus is saying, or to ask him what's really up. And Inigo still feels a bit too rude to do so too when Tidus seems so obviously conflicted about it.
So he's quiet, listening to Tidus ramble and Taiki reply as he glances between the two, trying to focus on the now slowly growing warmth of their presence at his hands. ]
When my friends and I went back into the past to save the world, we knew we wouldn't be able to return to our future. [ He then slowly says. Inigo's voice is weird - casual, yet detached, like he's telling a fairytale about some fictional people rather than about himself.
But he figures that maybe if he throws something up for grabs first, Tidus and Taiki might feel slightly less wary about talking about themselves and their own problems. It's not like Inigo wants to keep his deal secret as much as he just doesn't want to seem as pathetic and pitiable as he feels. So maybe if he just presents it as something casual, or something he doesn't care nearly as much about as he really does, it'll be okay.
It's why he doesn't look directly at either of them, but instead into the flames. ]
And we knew there wasn't a place for us in the past either. Our parents already had us. Or-- well, not "us", but new baby versions of us. We'd just be superfluous doubles. But we went anyway, even though there was no going back.
