Hope blinked a bit in confusion at Tidus, not quite sure how to take the sudden generosity from the older teen. He didn't really have the same thoughts about adults, considering he had been the youngest of the group. But Tidus looked to be about Vanille's and Serah's age. They had to take care of themselves too, if he remembered right, and here this guy was offering to help.

"I... uh, are you sure? I mean, we only just met and all. Why would you want to take in a kid like me?" Hope asked. His friends had come together for each other due to being l'Cie and eventually becoming family. On Pulse, everyone was family. Was it the same here too? They all shared a common issue, after all. Even after what he'd been through, things like this sometimes still surprised him.
