Gerome almost expected Inigo to miss the cue, but to his amusement, he was wrong. And luckily he didn't end up flat on his back this time, though he did stumble back a half step with the force of Inigo's dive at him. Arms wrapped about his back and... Gerome was still for a moment. He'd made the offer but after that fact he wasn't sure what he should do with his own arms. Hug back? How...?

There was hesitation, but his arms slowly moved around Inigo.

He was quiet, just allowing Inigo to take what he needed from him. Cry or laugh, it didn't matter to him. He was, for that moment, content to be a tie to the past where they both belonged.
