[ The time passing, Inigo finds, is actually an upside. It takes such a long time that Inigo has had enough time to practice this conversation over and over in his head. He already knows where it's going to head, after all - already completely convinced of the answer Tidus is going to return with.
And since there's nothing he can change about that, and since he can't erase what's already happened, Inigo knows all he can do is just prepare himself for the upcoming conversation the best he can. Not even just for his own sake - mostly for Tidus's, really, because Inigo has to fix what he messed up with him.
So despite the obvious apprehension about Tidus, everything about him a sign that Inigo was right to assume the outcome would be, Inigo just smiles. Rather calmly, by his standards. Like either the nerves just aren't there, or he's pushed them down far enough for them to not show at all. ]
Of course.
[ He gestures with an arm, a 'come along' kind of gesture, a flower bracelet now on his wrist. ]
Come on, let's go. [ And with that he does wander a bit off into the jungle - it's not too hard, considering it surrounds practically anything in this place. Inigo keeps walking until he figures they're pretty much out of earshot of the camp - and not at a spot anyone would just stumble right into if they left camp either. Then he just moves to lean against a tree, leaving Tidus the space to speak first when he feels up to it. ]
