[ It's not a dismissal, nor a refusal, and Tidus can be relieved for that. He wants to help Jingyi, knows this isn't how he is; and Jingyi doesn't need to be how he is, to be affected by what Elidibus did and be his natural self, but the impact of his silence translates to Tidus as someone he doesn't want to be left alone. With someone, anyone who knows him; in a way that Tidus can't confidently say he does, in the way he's become capable of supporting Inigo over time and through bumping heads.
No one can quite grasp that level of familiarity, but there are those close to it. So he nods to the thanks, nods more in understanding, but he heads himself to take the other direction. Let Jingyi go where he needs to, and Tidus - Tidus doesn't know where he wants to head, only that his feet move him through to the musical car, and he then uses the ICP there to send out a message.
If only he could send private messages. But at least, he can keep this short and sweet, not telling or giving anything away: ]
Hey, this is for Sizhui - Lan Sizhui! Can you meet me at the spa hall? Got something important to talk to you about. Really can't wait.
[ He feels bad that Jingyi might be able to hear, but there's nothing to be done about that. He'll just wait by the ICP, hoping he might get a confirmation from the guy - from whatever he was in the middle of. Hopefully, nothing too severe. ]
