[ Inigo starts sputtering at the word 'bedmate', like he's just about ready to protest to the usage of that word..

.. but apparently he decides to be good. For now. He lets Jingyi speak first to explain himself, even if there's basically a waterfall's worth of words being poured out over him. But Inigo knows that Jingyi is just like that, and so he respects his friend for who he is, giving him the chance to speak his truth.

Though all he's left with when the other comes to that final part is just a: ]

Uh.. thank you.

[ It's just awkward, because.. what does he say in the face of that? How does he deal with people wanting him to be happy? He'll never get it.

Instead he just moves a hand up to his neck, awkwardly rubbing it a little. ]

You're really kind in your own way, Jingyi, but.. I'm not hurt over the gift thing. Really! [ The dating comment was so much worse comparatively, in Inigo's mind. ] It is pretty much my own fault in the first place, anyway.

[ After all, if he hadn't told Jingyi about his issue, then Jingyi would never have told Tidus that he's not fit to date, and this whole awkward situation never would have happened. ]

I just hope you guys won't be mad at each other. I like you both way too much to have to deal with that.
