But Inigo isn't too sure how to feel about it. Not with the odd looks he's been spotting in Roland's eyes. Today, for sure, but even very occasionally, ever since they left the island.
There's another quiet moment, but then he looks at Roland again. ]
Make sure to show up for dinner.
[ "Don't overwork," in other words. ]
If you don't show up, I'm going to cry. Right in front of everyone. And I'm going to tell them it's all your fault for not coming to eat with me. [ NO, HE WON'T.. Or, well. He might cry. But in private. And without blaming Roland at all. But he figures it might just work as a good enough incentive to get him to show up for sure. ]
[ Wait wait wait. No, okay hold on a second here. Was Inigo actually threatening him? With his tears? To which Roland responds very easily to? He doesn't panic overtly, but he does seem a bit taken aback that he would stoop to such a tactic. Did he know what it does to him?
[ Look, Inigo may not dabble in this slyness very often, but when it's for a good goal.. After all, making sure Roland eats and actually takes care of himself is a good thing! And if a few tears are necessary to make that happen, Inigo will gladly throw those onto the battlefield.
It's still a little surprising to see just how well they work though, and how quickly, but he manages to carefully hide the surprise behind the expression he's already wearing.
Which is a smile. He ought to put at least a bit more energy into forcing one of those on his face despite the circumstances now he's lured Roland into his little dinner trap. ]
Great!
[ No tears here. As long as you keep your promise, dad.. ]
Ah, and my room is right up ahead here too. So.. I'll see you then!
