It's dumb. It's not even like all the pain and hurt and worries suddenly disappear. They're still there, just deep down, waiting for their turn.
But that turn isn't right now. Because somehow, in the light of Tidus smiling like that, talking like usually - Inigo feels better so suddenly. Even if it might be temporary. The speed at which it happens really is dumb, considering how long of a time he's spent feeling crappy now, but of course it's something Inigo readily embraces. It's just one more thing to be Tidus thankful for, how easy the other makes it to slip into something else, seperated from all their pain.
"Of course you'd start about food," Inigo says, finding his voice suddenly a lot lighter, a lot easier to fall into the usual teasing. "And I don't really have anything to spend at the moment, but.. I guess I am kind of hungry. Let's go take a look."
He stands there for a second. The logical thing to do right now would be to turn around and walk out of his dark alley. And Inigo will. Even though his face still doesn't look great, he feels he may be able to not worry about that at Tidus's side as long as they don't run into anyone they know from the train.
But it doesn't feel complete. So before Inigo starts moving, he first reaches out to grab a hold of Tidus's hand. Only then, after lightly tugging on it and not letting go, does he start to move out of the alley.
