[ Tidus is totally the kind of guy to love a challenge, but when Roland says what he does next, well--Tidus is going to turn and face him too. ]
How about this: I buy the book, and you buy one for someone else later. Remember? I'm Mister 200 Points -- [ well, less than a hundred now, but ] -- I've already got you beat. And if you share that book in the library sometimes, let me see it? I'm getting something out of it too. I want to see new worlds. You can tell me all about it!
[ There is some enthusiasm in that, as if he really needs to encourage Roland to let him when he already knows enough words to give it a go without the guy's blessing (maybe, anyway). And Tidus isn't above being sneaky for an act like this, obviously.
...but look, it's a compromise. A way to not make Roland feel guilty, if he's doing something in return later. Right? ]
