First of all, the higgledies can get too playful when they know the circumstance calls for a little mischief. Even when they actually look like they might listen to Tidus's request to burn him, he immediately tells them through whatever bond he's got with Bambosh, to absolutely do NOT do that, thanks very much!

Second of all, that's pretty rude, thanks higgledies for having his back? He can't speak to them so he won't know it, but they're having just as much fun as he was. So that's what they begin to reflect.

And finally, he is quite certain that at this point in time, Roland was sure of a heart attack. Inigo comes flying at him like a squirrel flying through the trees, the only indication of its motion found when he's suddenly trying to expel water from being inhaled!!! He's underwater without much warning, so he flails to return to the surface. Coughs through Inigo's words, realizing...that he actually thought he would be set on fire...

Behind a wet mop of long hair, Roland spits out some water unceremoniously and just nods. Nods quietly and without a single word out of him. Walks over and pats Inigo three times on both shoulders, before wading to the side of the pool and resting the nape of his neck there, staring up at the trees.

"I accept Tidus's apology." Is all he says before he starts to float again, same starfish, different energy.

Teenagers are a force to be reckoned with...!
