[ Inigo laughs by the time that hand falls on his hair. Maybe he's laying it on a little thick, but.. how can he help it? Even without the giddiness at the realisation of just how seriously Roland sees their bond, Inigo would want to make sure to be upbeat right now. For Roland's sake. So he can just think about the positive things of what he's talking about, rather than falling into what must be endless worry and despair of the boy's fate back home.
(And then there's even all the worries that Inigo doesn't even have an idea of to begin with on top of that.) ]
A young boy who likes reading and fantasy stories? He sounds so sweet already. [ Look, if he's ten, he's probably still too young to be an uptight nerd like Laurent. And Roland is so nice that Inigo can't help but think that his son must have inherited that quality from him.
His smile doesn't drop, but something about it shifts a bit, taking on a more serious quality. The knowing that often lies right behind the smiles that Inigo makes seem so obliviously innocent. ]
.. I'm not sure if it'd help. But.. you know, if you ever want to talk more about him, then feel free to do so anytime with me. [ Inigo figures it's very much on purpose that Roland didn't bring him up at all before, despite how big of a part of his life having a kid must be.
But he also knows cropping things up isn't healthy. Even though he's still working on that part himself as well. ] I'll listen, Roland. I want to know everything about you. I know we're both kind of bad at sharing, but.. let's try to keep doing this, okay? I-- I think it could be good. For us both.
