"No!!!!!!!"

Tidus doesn't have time for the realisation, the sinking foreboding to come and sink into him before he's swept up off his feet - all that's washing him up is Jingyi.

And with it comes his helpless yells, along with the waving of his arms. If he's going to get stolen away like a helpless damsel, he's going to be as noisy as he likes about it!!

"You're supposed to change! Argh-- I'll pull your tail! C'mere!" Is that Tidus trying to thwap the base of a tail that tip knocking at him? Yes. Fluff and all!! "Just you wait, Jingyi!"

But there's no need to wait, the fog that's been surrounding at some distance around Jingyi here, with them, in his grab of Tidus. A way opens forward, aided by Wei Wuxian's connection to Tidus to keep open a path, and now Tidus has Jingyi to hold onto. ... mentally. Emotions flooding each way, Tidus's fluster (or more annoyance, that Jingyi grabbed him first) a strange mixture with Jingyi's conviction, his certain purpose.

Walk the path that your choice leads you to, Jingyi - carrying your bounty, if you will, along the way.
