( He wasn't trying, Inigo! Jingyi was giving Tidus a faintly puzzled frown, that goes to faintly grumpy all over again, to a long sigh before Inigo's trying to mediate a situation that hadn't even existed to one of the two here. Though now he can at least get what was going on better than that day, where none of this had been a thought in his head, simply because he knew what he was asking about.

He does close the top of the box lid, since he doesn't want to keep holding it out like he is for the time being. )

Inigo, it's fine.

( He smiles at Inigo, specifically...... and hands the box over to him. He cups his hands as the smile fades, and bows to Tidus, nothing deep, but something fitting a peer held in decent standing. It isn't sarcastic, though for a whole five seconds he contemplated making it so out of a petty urge that mostly comes out of being grumpy at being taken as anything like sly in his disapproval. )

Tidus, I apologise. I didn't intend insult. Trust me, if I were judging you for anything, you wouldn't have to wonder. I don't hold back.

( He rises, and claps his hands, like this settles??? Something??? Definitely not smiling, but he's not scowling or even frowning, just settling into neutral lines. )

I'll remember next time that gifting culture is different for you than for me.

( do not ever, he tells himself, practise apology gifts on this guy if one's ever needed, it'll only go p o o r l y )
