[ Tidus is suspicious on handing over the phone, but also, far more excited about what he's going to see. Threatening to vibrate where he stands, hovering near, never realising how invested he was to see the real deal. The real deal Roland!

Only now it occurring to him - despite the promise of seeing an actual image - that this whole 'really being eighty' could be a joke. An act! The passenger roster not coming to mind.

But there-

There. ]

Yo! [ Tidus exclaims, the second when it hits Tidus that the face is the man he's been waiting to see. An intake of breath like a gasp as he takes the phone in both hands, he's absolutely mesmerised. Searching to look at the Roland standing in front of him for a comparison, but the man's already turned away.

Just give Tidus another minute with this. Did Roland touch it to make it work? But touching it doesn't bring him any symbols that he recognises, so he's stuck on the main pic.

he wishes so bad he could show this to inigo right now. ]

Man, I was expecting somethin', but not this! [ Eventually, since he doesn't know how to use the phone efficiently, Tidus wanders into the same room Roland is in. Needing a moment to recognise the man he knows more, glances taken to the 'real' him in hand. ]

Is your hair short? Is there a ponytail? [ Is it just too thin for him to see? ] It's so weird seeing you with no hair!

[ Well, yes, he has hair. But not 20-something Roland's amount of it! ]
