"I think that's an amazing skill though, Tidus. .. The whole underwater thing, I mean."
It's a surprisingly earnest compliment. Maybe it's Inigo's way of trying to bridge the gap between them a little again, to try and lift the awkward atmosphere. Sure, Tidus doesn't always do well with Inigo's earnest sappiness, but he's willing to risk if when the compliment has to do with Tidus's sports ability - surely he wouldn't mind that as much, right? It's something the other takes pride in!
But that isn't the only thing he's noticing here. After saying that, and slowly emerging at least a bit more from the water again, Inigo's gaze moves from Tidus to Roland.
"And Roland, if I may ask.. Why are you wrapping your hair like that?" It seems so deliberate! Is it just something people do in hot springs? It's not like Inigo would know, and if it's Tidus's first time as well, then they have to rely on Roland's knowledge here.
