"Yes that's true. There have been friends who share those rooms. Rich and Alice... I do not believe the two are romantic with each other."
Tidus and Inigo only half count. Taiki knows. But also is not going to pressure Tidus about it, they will figure themselves out in time he is sure. He's not exactly an expert in such matters.
"I think... Losing Wen Sizhui has meant Lan Jingyi needs all the friends he can gather."
And he does often complain about the size of the beds.
Wen Sizhui, huh... Tidus's features do soften, and he takes a moment to chew at his food, his usual breakfast of toast and eggs.
"Even if it's temporary," he starts, then chews some more and swallows. "--The train can't stop you, right? You can try it out for a month, and others can come round. Then no one needs to spend the points. And you can invite friends - just, they won't stick around after."
Like is always the case when Taiki comes over with him and Inigo. Tidus figures that Inigo would have it that way if they could - stick Taiki in the room with them permanent.
"Or even 'til the end of this month." He pauses, then flashes a smile at Taiki. "Either way, you should get a room with someone! We can ask around if Jingyi doesn't want to."
"I guess..." He nodded. All of those were very good points. It could just be a test. He figured. He knew they could request a double room, he's less sure how they would request to not have one.
He was pretty sure he would like sharing with Lan Jingyi, but he's not sure if the other boy would find it tedious sharing with him.
"Oh um... I guess. I don't want anyone to feel they had to though. My room is fine."
"You're too modest, Taiki." A forever weakness of the guy, and Tidus knows he can't change his mindset of being a potential burden, just smiles at him before picking up his toast, mopping up part of his plate.
"Who d'you room with anyway? Noctis I know. The other two...?"
"He is not human. He's a..." He knows this. Mordin has told him... "Salarin. He really likes science. But he is keen to discover new things as well. I think you would get on well with him."
...so, not a human. Which could be anyone? But no one's coming to mind with 'really likes science', though guessing gets distracted by Taiki's assumption here. Him getting along with a science-liking guy?
He scoffs, but it's good-humoured.
"Dunno what science facts I can give him, but sure, I'll look out for him. Maybe he and Senku'd get along too?"
'Science' and 'discovering new things' are two things Senku likes too.
"Ah I meant... He enjoys discovering things that aren't necessarily science. He spent a lot of time in the art tent at the holiday world we went to. I am sure he would be fascinated by the sports you could teach him."
He was someone who loved learning it seemed, whatever learning that was. Senku would undoubtedly get along with him.
"Oh? Okay, sure! You do art with him now? He still into it?"
Did Taiki really have many - or any - art friends? At least there was Romeo and Madoka around, always ready to keep alive art activities, along with Rapunzel. But he was more interested right now Taiki having his own art pals around.
...that weren't him and his attempts at shoddy blitzballs.
It takes a second to Tidus to ask, but not to really consider the fact that it's unlikely Taiki is going to say yes to that - that comes a second after, and he hurries to add:
"It'd be good to know, right? If it's new to him, everyone can do with help. He might be shy too!"
