flatteries: (doesn't it almost feel like)

Inigo's expression gets progressively more awkward. First when Roland speaks, then when Tidus speaks - both approaches feeling like there's something wrong about it. Because Inigo can see the merit in both. Wanting to take a chance where they can have one, but also wanting to be careful. Being unsure what may happen to not just them, but everyone on the train.

Chiff gently vibrates on his hands, and Inigo kind of wishes he could just walk away from this situation, especially as it starts snowballing into something more and more uncomfortable. But it wouldn't be right to do.

So he sucks in a breath and smiles at Anan. Even if he's entirely unsure what the right thing to do here is, maybe he can at least throw a bit of water onto this dumpster fire of a situation. Please give him strength, emotional support robot buddy.

"Sorry, we don't mean to make things difficult. It must all sound a little strange, huh?" Look, Inigo is talking to a girl in an actually normal way. That's how you know he's serious. "But our situation may be slightly more.. unusual than yours, let's say. I'm not sure you may even have heard of something like it before."

That feels like the best middle road he can manage here right now. It's not like he could play this off as Tidus being crazy - it'd break his heart to do that to his friend. And he knows Tidus has a point. But maybe they can at least be somewhat more careful about this. First seeing where Anan's thoughts lie before bearing it all in one go. Make this a bit more of a drip feed.
