"I guess it's a bad line?" Tidus offers unhelpfully, with a shake of his head and shrug of his shrugs. "Let me know how it goes. I don't get this tethering or how it works, but it'd be good to know if something weird's happening to the people who disappear. We know they're still alive, but..."

But...

It's not a line of thought Tidus has ever wanted to weigh too heavily on, for personal reasons. And even then, without anywhere to take the thought now, Tidus brings his hands close to one another, a golden colouring appearing in a rectangular shape between them.

"Anyway, I wanted to ask you about - clocks! And I got you something too!" A something that has now materialised as a paper brown bag, with a chunky book-like shape to it. "Check it out. Might be a fun?"

He tilts the package in Elidibus's direction, to be taken. And if Elidibus does so, and peels away the parcel paper to better look, it might seem odd.

...and the inside too.
