[ To Inigo's credit, he does sit down. Not even too long after Tidus says it, before waiting for the rest of the explanation - like there's a part of his brain that trusts Tidus so much that he sits down before even considering why he's doing it. ]

Tidus, it's not likely I'll panic. [ Suddenly he sounds more serious. Because apparently playing the clown isn't going to help make Tidus any less worried, judging from how the other is acting, so Inigo momentarily puts down that act, tucking it away in some corner for later use. Fine, if he wants to do this seriously, Inigo can do that. ] I've been so close to dying plenty of times. If that happens, whatever I feel-- it's not going to be very new to me.

[ He shakes his head. ]

I'm not going to able to understand a thing you say though after I take it off, but I won't fight you if you put it back on me, no matter what. [ Maybe Tidus might notice something off about Inigo that he himself wouldn't notice, after all. ] Still.. if you have something important to say, maybe say it while I can still figure out what your words mean.
