Inigo raises a hand similarly - as if he'd feel too guilty hiding his own when she's showing it to openly. And when he turns it, showing his palm, there's definitely a similar amount of them there, despite his age. (Honestly, he's more just glad that he can show it off this way, considering how nervous he is about showing off scars instead.)
His gaze lingers on her hand for a moment, but then moves up to her face.
"But.. I don't know. Fighting is one thing."
Maybe he's saying it a bit too casual, considering the topic.
"After a while, it almost goes automatic, right? But experiencing things like being stuck as a statue.. That's got to be way worse. Terrifying, even. Especially since you most likely wouldn't realise whether there's even a way out." His hand curls back up to a fist as he draws it back, holding it to his chest. "That's why I can't help but feel bad for you going through something that hard. No battle I've ever fought could compare to that."
