Esteban asks him, Are you okay?, and Tidus is confused, not as caught up on what's happening as everyone else around him. Certainly not enough to find his own speech weird (why would it be weird? He's just speaking!), and he's confused about where the concern and relief is pointed in this line connecting the two of them.
Also, Esteban is thinking about blitzball a lot, which is just making him--
well, he's not allowed or being granted time to be confused over that. His body hit the ground with no resistance, easing his manic hold onto Inigo, and he's a wide-eyed sight to greet the one above his head. A fluster about Tidus,dazed, puzzled. Inigo? his mind thinks, and for a split second, with the shadow cast over him, a familiarity to this kind of position; there's a real fluster internally, a small excited panic that Inigo's going to kiss him, when--
'Who...are you?'
I can explain! There's relief, that second where he realises nothing embarrassing is going to happen (nevermind the transmission that he thought it could happen--ignore that, obviously), and he pats a hand on the outer side of Inio's arm, near his armpit, just finding some place to touch and reassure.
"I-It's me! It's Tidus!" His voice now what it should be, that hoard instinct not as strongly coming through. "Esteban and we-- we've come to get you! Uhh... maybe I was too full on?"
...his brain might be catching up now to the strength of the embrace he gave, tumbling backwards to recollect the last five or ten seconds. But, it's a little hard, too.
There's confusion signals being sent to Esteban (Did I miss something?), scattered as he's thinking about him, and then dealing with Inigo right in front of him.

"I promise it's me?"
