But despite the way he says that and sighs, Inigo doesn't seem genuinely bothered by the pushiness. If anything, it's a good thing right now. No matter what kind of front he may put up - sometimes more convincingly, sometimes less convincingly - Inigo needs this sort of thing. Being bossed around a bit, having it that heavily confirmed that it's fine, that he needs to stop listening to his worries and just go for it.
So he does. A small smile appears on his face as he starts tugging Tidus along through the crowds. His steps may be a tad more hurried than usually, since he really doesn't want to run into anyone they know, but thankfully the place Inigo was thinking of is nearby enough that it's not a real problem.
And inside it's fairly busy too, but as Inigo quickly scans the room he can't find anyone they know from the train. Good.
That makes all hesitation disappear for the moment as he still tugs Tidus along through their held hands towards a table that's very close by the fire that's burning in the hearth.
"You go sit here," he gestures at the seat closest to the fire, and finally - slowly - lets go of Tidus's hand. "Then you can completely warm up. And I better not hear any complaints lately over me not treating you like a prince! Look at all I'm doing for you!" Inigo takes the seat next to it - slightly further away from the fire, but still close enough to also feel its warmth. "You still want that stew? I was thinking something with a bit more meat.."
