"I don't know." He hadn't really thought about it himself. It was just that not a whole lot of people seemed like they had time to help with this, so he had just decided to throw himself into it even harder. Besides, he isn't too sure what he can do about the whole bird problem - considering he's not exactly a ranged fighter compared to other people, and the sali seemed to be working on a solution of their own already.

But as he tries to consider Tidus's words, he shoots the other a faint smile as he continues.

"They're both rewarding in their own ways. But at least this.." There's a slight pause. It's never easy being too honest about this stuff, even to the people he trusts the most. But he's trying. He really is. "At least this doesn't make me think of back home as much."

Of that terrible future, and all the fighting he did there, day after day after day. Not many missions got on a level of fighting that made him remember those days, but a few sure have, and it's never too great. Even though Inigo works his butt off all the same.
