There's a pause, a hold. Roland's asking for simple questions, but there's a blockade in him, just for coming from Roland. What does he have to share? Little. Maybe what he's found out is useless, no good, and his mind tries to think at the same time it can't.
You should ask someone else, reaches the back of his tongue, but Tidus swallows it. At least for now.
"The blight means sprites got corrupted--round where Orange Team's going, the Red and Blue too. They think the blight came from the kingdom they're fighting." And he shrugs there, his voice never picking up with confidence, or life. "I don't know what Purple's doing."
If Roland had mentioned it before, he's forgotten since, and he didn't look before either, for long. Going with Purple rarely crosses his mind on his better days, and on this mission, he wanted to even less. Especially after Inigo. Especially after Roland himself. You have to be reliable.
