Of course it doesn't just instantly make everything better. Inigo knows that. It does nothing about the emotion they saw on Roland's face just earlier, or the way he seems so utterly exhausted now. It does very little about Inigo and Tidus's own worries about the other. But it's a start, right? If they know what's up, they can help. Or at least-- at least figure something out. Somehow.
It's still enough to relax just a tiny bit of the tension about Inigo. It doesn't stop the tears from still flowing, though right now they're utterly silent, as if he wouldn't dare to interrupt Roland's story with a single sound. He doesn't even say anything when Roland starts about Reno, not even before he holds up that hand.
The only thing Inigo does do is take a step sideways, just so he's directly next to Tidus. Taking the other's hand into his own. He feels a little guilty, knowing that this is much more his sort of thing than it is Tidus's sort of thing, but he just-- he needs this comfort right now, after everything, during this. It's the only way he can hold on.
Other than that he just listens, not even being the one to speak up this time when Roland stops for a moment. ]
