It's through Inigo that Tidus hears about Roland. A name returned to normal on the roster list, though Tidus doesn't bother to check. If Inigo said Roland was back, then he was back - but what did that mean, feel like to the older guy? There's a relief for Tidus and Inigo, for sure, but Tidus hasn't been sure if he shouldn't feel guilt about that.

Disappearances are always a difficult pill to chew on.

Regardless, he's pretty sure he knows where to find the man after some time. Giving Inigo that time first, then time for Roland to have by himself or with others; and then to the inevitable. Where else would the man be but his favourite particular spot in the library to gather his thoughts?

So Tidus drops by, a squeaking Hibber-Gibbers on his shoulder speaking up joyfully at the sight of the man; hopping and dancing in celebration once Tidus's pace comes to the pause.

And Tidus - he folds his arms, not sure where to settle his mood entirely. His expression complicated for it; somewhere between a humoured smirk, brow furrowed thoughtfully.

"Hey," he says, with Gibbs already beating him to the punch. "Welcome back."
