.. no. [ Inigo slowly says. Not to everything Tidus says, because he knows that there's no way to stop this now, that there's so much more in the words Tidus doesn't say here than what he does say.
Instead it's just a 'no' to-- ]
You.. take the room. For tonight.
[ It feels hard to even speak. Inigo can feel himself trembling like a leaf, even though he keeps his voice steady.
And even though he can already feel the tears forming in his eyes, his face smiles before he even realises it. Because his body just doesn't have any other reaction to this, other than to fall back into what's natural to do now. What it has practiced, over and over.
The tiara drops from his fingers, clattering against the ground. ]
It's.. my fault. So it's okay. You can have space. [ Where is Inigo going to go while looking like this? He has no idea. But it doesn't feel fair to send Tidus out for tonight when this is natural. When Inigo has known for months and months that this would inevitably happen, and that it'd be all his own fault.
He's already stepping over to the door without stopping, his steps speeding up until he's out of the door. He'll just go wherever. He'll find some spot to curl up. ]
