Tidus makes a pleased sound, face brightening despite his earlier stumble in. A grin, and that's all he needs to know, giving a "Great!" just as he can feel that pull from elsewhere.

He holds out his hand, and even before Zelgadis takes it, he'll see the fog around Tidus, the visualisation of lampposts made real from Tidus's presence, with Esteban's guidance.

"We go back, and we try this again another day - with you back in your body!" It's a hope at the very least, the hows and all that far from Tidus's mind. One day, one day far, when Tidus is only focused on the now, but they can put a pin in it, come back to it later.

For the meantime, they had to keep Zelgadis - and everyone - safe.
