[ Despite Roland saying that he did nothing wrong, Inigo still can't help but to tightly clutch the sponge he was using to clean the floor with using both hands. He holds it slightly in front of it, almost as if it's a shield between himself and Roland's odd, odd anger, that feels like it could burst at the seams any moment now.

And yet he doesn't dare to look away or break eye contact when the other turns his gaze Inigo's way. ]

I.. well..

[ Suddenly he feels scrutinized, and that immediately makes him worry about saying the wrong thing. Inigo is 99% sure Reno is just a jerk, but there's always that tiny room for self doubt when it comes to Inigo. ]

I have.. called him a jerk a few times.. S-since, when we met, he fell over when the train first started moving, and I asked him if he was alright, but he reacted really rudely to me in return! [ He's just rambling at this point. Roland looking so angry is awakening a nervous energy within him that he doesn't quite know how to still. ] H-He called me a "jackass" right away [ Said with the tone of someone who has literally never used that word himself, ] and said he would have knocked my teeth out if I had laughed at him.. and when I tried to tell him that some people are just nice and want to check up on others, he said that kind of thing wasn't real, and that I'm just a spineless loser who begs for scraps because nobody loves me.

[ Yes, he can recall Reno's exact words.

Which probably says more than Inigo consciously realises about just how much he's been thinking about them.

"It's kinda sad that even you think I'm right," Inigo knows Reno had said then, but even his nerves aren't enough to make him spill that part. ]
