Usually, the tears would be enough to spur Roland into more serious action. On a regular occasion, he would already be trying his best to calm him down with a frown on his face, all serious and worried. But today, today in the midst of a birthday party, after sharing a part of himself that he didn't think anybody cared about, let alone would remember, Roland is a partially changed man. Today, he removes himself from the other end of the bench, tucking himself immediately to Inigo's side with his arms wrapped around him, hugging him close. But Roland is chuckling, his smile warm and open.
"It's okay! I'm sorry, I won't joke around like that anymore. I'll beat those nasty ghost bugs for you, okay pup? I'll be your shield. Don't you worry, they're not going to come get you."
Then, he plants a kiss with closed lips against the crown of his head before he rubs Inigo's arms up and down, hopefully to curb the tears already falling on his face. It's something to behold, now that Roland knows precisely how to deal with Inigo when he goes just a tad bit too far. Hopefully, his pup forgives him for this travesty of nightmarish creepy crawlies! Right after having cake too, the nerve!
