[ Perhaps he pulled away too soon as Roland watches Inigo almost cry, his hands trying to halt the flow of tears. The instinct to try and give him comfort is a natural pull, one that takes more effort to hold back than it is to follow. But its Inigo's words that hook Roland back in, a soft affection which comes rolling in gently. ]

...That's an honor I'll always cherish. I'll always do my best to do right by you, pup. [ A role he chooses. A role he will fulfill to the end of his days. ] And to tell you the truth, if I ever got meet Olivia, [ - and Chrom, though he keeps that implicit. It sounds impossible, but he knows anything can happen now, on this train, in this life. ] the first thing I would tell her is how her son grew up to be an amazing young man.

[ The corner of his eyes crinkle in fondness, which he then hides by draping his arm over Inigo's shoulders again in a quick motion. ] Thank you for your honesty, Inigo. For what you've told me, for wanting to share parts of your life. Be patient with me, okay?

[ Please, Roland and Olivia clearly can't ever meet. It'll be too much for Inigo's heart. Too much supportive and loving parent energy in one room, he'll perish.

But for now he'll gladly momentarily lean against Roland when the other drapes his arm over his shoulders like that. ]

Of course..

[ Being honest isn't always easy for Inigo. But he's grown better lately, he thinks. He's making an honest effort, because he really can't demand Roland to tell a single thing about himself without at least offering up the same in turn. ]

Just tell me things whenever you feel ready to do so. I'll wait. [ Especially since Inigo knows how hard it is. But Roland has shown that he's willing to try, so Inigo is willing to take things slow. ] But.. I've taken up enough of your time for now with something relatively dumb.

[ HE HASN'T FORGOTTEN HOW THIS CONVERSATION STARTED OUT YET, AFTER ALL...

He shakes his head. ]

I should get going.

It's not dumb. Nothing you tell me is dumb, Inigo. Don't forget that.

[ Because he means it. Roland doesn't want to put that wall between them, doesn't want Inigo to hide even the smallest thing from Roland out of fear or shame. He'll always support him. ]

[ Roland gives him one last squeeze with his arm before letting go. ]

Take care now. I'll see you later. Go on, go do your thing pup.

[ He crosses his arms, smiling. ] Thank you. I'll be here if you need me again.
