[ Inigo opens his mouth to say that surely Jingyi didn't mean it that way--
But then he thinks of just how direct Jingyi can be with his opinions, never really smoothing things over a whole lot, and he quickly makes sure to not say that, just in case the other decides to make himself clear and this escalates after all.
He's really hoping it doesn't. ]
It's.. fine!
[ Thank Naga that Inigo can blame any awkwardness in his voice on the fact that he's having to witness all of this, and not at the confirmation of what he already knew deep down - that Tidus doesn't want to date. That he needs to keep shoving his feelings as far down and out of sight as possible.
There's some seriously impressive not crying going on here. It'll come later, in private. For now Inigo just awkwardly shifts the box a little in his arms. ]
