It's a joke. It's so obviously a joke - Tidus may be trying, but the tone that hides under each and every single one of his words easily gives it away.

And yet.

And yet.

There's a part of Inigo's dumb tiny gay heart that skips a beat at being treated this way. Especially since most people at court back home were much older than him, so he's never had this treatment from a guy around his age. And it's A Lot.

His cheeks are growing slightly red and Inigo knows it. It's too late to even hide it. He hasn't even given an answer yet to anything Tidus is saying, he's just staring like an idiot! Ugh! Tidus is already winning this joke so hard, just because Inigo is too gay to function.

"I-- I could go for a drink." He's trying to say it in as neutral of a tone as possible, yet his voice cracks after the first word.
