He doesn't seem convinced of the word yet, especially since his face drops a moment later, staring at the hard ground underneath them. He stares like that for a moment or two, and then slowly nods again.
"Okay," he repeats.
It's like he's trying to convince himself that this is reality. That this is something he can just do. Leave and go back to the train, even if it's just for a little bit. Trying to convince himself that the mission won't suddenly fall apart, just because he isn't paying attention for a few moments.
He doesn't know if he'll feel that much better when he comes back, but it's better than trying to step into that distortion again and falling apart, and still better than going back to camp and showing everyone what kind of mess he is.
"You'll.. stay with me?" It's a dumb thing to ask, especially since Tidus was already implying as much. But Inigo can't help it. He's so vulnerable right now, and if he can cling onto even just one thing in this moment, then he wants it to be Tidus's presence right there with him. Something to keep him at least remotely stable.

Inigo moves up a hand, rubbing at his eyes.
