It's alright Saku, you'll get plenty of extra fun just for going along with Tidus in getting all this gear out! And once they sort it and a place to store it, but it didn't seem like so far they had anyone to worry about coming and nicking it. Probably best to just leave it outside the train.

Nonetheless, Tidus doesn't mind when Saku takes the time for a detour--how can he complain really, when he's helping him out?--, and he doesn't question him when he comes back, though the bulky package gets a curious look, even before the king walks to him, presenting it.

He has no expectations for what it is, his usual friendly resting face worn as Saku speaks. Tidus only means to glance the parcel, but it's then when he says, --world with enough water for a demonstration, one day that Tidus reacts, though delayed.

Curiosity drops into shock, a silence washing over Tidus completely. Disbelief, and he doesn't even try to speak, to ask--not for a good few seconds, the few paddles and rackets forgotten around their netting on the floor beside him. He blinks a few times, eyes drying. For such a simple thing, it's taking Tidus a good time to figure what he should do.

--Take it, obviously. Saku's holding it out, and his hands start to go for it; except he stops and looks at him, silently looking for confirmation that it's okay.

But there's a light showing in his eyes as his disbelief turns into an optimism, a hope; a giddiness creeping like goosebumps along his skin.
