[ He's going to have an entirely brown back when he gets up later.

Inigo smiles back at Tidus, though it's similar small, considering the sheer weight of the topic hanging over them, the thought of it still settling into Inigo's heart even now. ]

.. yeah. Imagine if you could.. fire dream beams.

[ Look, that's just what all magic seems like to him, okay. You fire something magical. That's clearly how dream powers would work.

He releases a breath, rolling onto his back. ]

Thank you though. For.. um, thinking of me. [ Even though Tidus is the one who mostly has to live with something this heavy. Even though it can't have been easy for him, he was still thinking about Inigo, about how hard it'd be on him to know. ] It's not that it doesn't make me sad right now..

[ Or rather, Inigo can imagine him really having been much more worried and sad about this under other circumstances. But maybe it's everything about the previous mission. How they did manage to pull Tidus back out of that illusion of having disappeared, how close he and Tidus had been that entire mission.

.. Even how it ended, he thinks, as a hand travels back over the healed section of his stomach.

It's made him feel close enough to Tidus to have faith. To want to try to see this positively. ]

But.. I want to believe we'll find a way as long as we're both here. We can't have your entire existence relying on a dumb train.
