If there's any word Inigo has ever had difficulty with, it's that one. He kind of wants to shrink away under those hands on his shoulders. Or let the ground swallow him up or something. What does he deserve? He has no idea. He's getting so used to the idea of rejection that it feels like maybe that's just what he deserves at this point. For being a disappointment.
But for as much as he's already laid bare here, he doesn't want to add that to it. Not right now. So rather than verbally dismissing it, he manages to give Lightning a look that's half-surprise, half-sad.
"Thank you. That's.. kind of you to say." Though difficult to deal with. "I'm sure I'll be fine in time, so.. no need to worry about me."
