( He's not exactly cool, he's pretty lukewarm, but at least he pings to it being slang, and the intent paired to action. His brow's still furrowed a touch, but he takes Tidus's hand and steps forward, bringing their arms up to chest level between them to do the logical thing: step into the hug? Arm to arm, chest to chest, free arm coming around to thump against Tidus's back. Not a sweet sort of embrace, but a bracing one, specifically for comradery rather than support. )
On that, yeah.
( Cool on that, because that, that's true. Figuring out miscommunications was important, since their existence was inevitable. Frustrating, but inevitable. (Cool being one more potential if he hadn't the context to make it make sense.)
He steps back, letting go of Tidus's hand. His tail runs counterpoint to how he turns on the ball of his foot, reaching for the box from Inigo, nodding his head to him; he's not smiling, and he won't be, but he's not scowling, so that's an improvement over the confusion and everything else. If he wins the box free, he turns to place it against Tidus's chest instead, until the guy takes hold. )
Gonna leave these with you for now, still have to borrow Inigo for a while today. You're the techiest out of us all, you'll figure them out faster than we can.
( He nods his head to Tidus, not unfriendly in gesture, but not easy. Like there's some other tension under his skin, and it's mostly the kind he shoves to the side because:
I just don't want you guys to fight, you know..?
Damn the mediators of the world. Sometimes arguing is the only way to get things resolved, but other times? People've already left open things which should not be said in public in his mind, and so Jingyi is attempting to loop an arm through Inigo's to bodily whisk him away to the yet unspecified borrowed purpose. Apologies, for one, because Tidus's callousness is something owed to Jingyi, and not Tidus alone. )
