Tidus would offer Esteban's name in return for the nickname, but the other guy's hug keeps it in his throat, swallowed away by the question in its place. It's not an unwelcome gesture however, and Tidus is smiling, if slightly pinched. But this is what they've been waiting for - a chance. An opportunity.
But he nods the question first, an answer both of them already knew. "I want to get Inigo." First, he means, but he's already going through names in his head. "Jingyi-- he's a friend of ours too. He got knocked out of the train; he would've been scrambling for a way back."
The fact that he's not even out here - but Tidus isn't thinking about any of that. He will be, soon.
