But--

[ Inigo seems to start a protest. And there are so many things he could protest that with. That he can handle Reno by himself. That asking someone else to help him will just make him look even more dumb to the other. That he doesn't want to get Roland involved in something potentially nasty.

But it feels like no excuse will work here. Inigo has already seen the determination in the other's eyes.

So instead he just silently grabs Roland's hand to help him stand up again, looking resigned to his fate. ]

.. Alright. I promise, Roland. Just.. as long as it won't do anything bad to you..

[ The last thing Inigo needs is the guilt of causing a schandal like 'team lead Roland went completely off on one of his team members', considering the intensity of Roland's initial reaction to hearing it. ]

[ He shakes his head with an air of confidence. ]

Anything bad to me? Don't worry. I can handle myself. [ Which is true...But to what extent? ] No matter what, I'm always going to hold myself accountable for my actions. I'll never regret standing by your side to stand up to a bully.

[ The smile he offers is meant to tell Inigo that he hears his worry. Roland looks to be no older than him, but Tidus and Inigo are both aware of who he really is. You don't get to live to be president because you couldn't handle yourself at the diplomat's negotiating table.

But to what extent...?

Does that even matter when the end came for his country anyway? ]

Come on. [ He nudges his chin gently with the back of his hand. ] Let's rinse this all up and finish here.
