"..." Roland is dumbfoundedly silent. His hand pushes back wet bangs out of his eyes so he can see both better, expression dry and incredulous all at once.
This whole thing is...typical, almost. But Roland can't seem to find the logic, rhyme, or reason behind anything when Tidus comes at him with that kind of barrage and now all he can hear is Inigo wailing - both of them representing the two types of children he is neither equipped to handle nor is he confident about calming down. Two tantrums, two teenagers, Twin Teens strike again. He couldn't have asked for a more relaxing soak in the water, huh...?
As if the higgledies were going to actually hurt the two; NEVER! Not on his watch, and what was the alternative anyway? Let Tidus figure out he could last two hours under the water and Inigo flailing about because his best friend wouldn't come up for air...?!
So, what is a fully-grown adult man stuck in a younger body to do? The only sane thing expected of such loud-mouthed, perhaps fully warranted yet still loud accusations thrown his way.
He actually responds faster than his body can predict, because as he replies, quieter than Tidus though no less stern - "Hey, did you actually think I was going to let anything happen to you two? Of course not, but you can't keep hiding under water every time...And besides, the fall you gave me could have broken my spine!" - he's wading through the water to get to Inigo even if Roland's eyes are locked on to Tidus. Roland's arms move on their own accord, trying to comfort Inigo with a strange sort of half-embrace half-scoop hybrid, and honestly the chaos is mostly due to the fact that they're all talking and crying at the same time.
