[ It both surprises Tidus--well, surprises and leaves him not knowing what to do for a second, or say, that Roland takes to the idea. Listening, and then just let on his own two feet as this actual...politician guy thinks that's a good idea?

And maybe next it makes him kinda giddy. Like huh. He can have a smart idea. It puts in Tidus an energy he wasn't expecting, a sort of enthusiasm that even makes him give up his easy spot at piling dishes and go around Roland to his piled plates. ]

See, that idea came up before the last meeting. They tried to compromise by broadcasting the meeting and letting people ask questions at the end, but do you know how boring that is? You're waiting for everyone to be done, and you forgot half the stuff 'cause you got stuck sitting around with nothing to do!

[ And look, Tidus isn't a guy for being in meetings in the first place probably, but he was definitely nodding off once or twice that time.

He puts his hands on the plates, paused however to look at Roland. ]

Everyone gets too hung up about how things work where they're from and being closed off, but when you come down to it, we're a bunch of people from all over the place trying to exist together. What's a better way of knowing people think by having them in the room with you at the same time?

[ And he'll pick up far too many plates at once, ad start taking them over to where they go to be stored. ]
