He knows exactly what that means, and even if it's packaged as a joke, Roland is certain Inigo will be totally useless against bugs. He's seen it for himself. Rats he can deal with. Risen, sure. Zombies are nothing to this brave boy - though that's a dark thought for a different time. But what about, and this is something Roland postulates with an expectation of what Inigo might say back:
"God forbid we run into ghost bugs." A beat passes. Then, "I wonder if fire will affect ghosts? Or will it pass right through them?"
Roland chuckles immediately, reaching out for Inigo as if to comfort him from across the table with two squeezes to his hands before sitting back down.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Don't panic. Those don't exist."
'...at least, I don't think they do.'
Should the next mission have floating, transparent beetles or something as enemies, Inigo knows precisely who to contact over the SCA's to scold. Thanks for jinxing it, Roland.
