Inigo makes sure to indulge in this for a few more quiet moments. He has no idea if this is something he could ask for again in the future, after all.. It must have been a little easier in this scenario with Gerome still so confused by everything going on, but once the other guy finds his footing, he's sure to go back to being all stoic and non-huggy again, right?

That's why he has to make sure to enjoy these arms while they're around them. Especially since they feel like unlike anything else in this place. Inigo has hugged plenty of people here, has even cuddled during a nap.. but none of that had this familiarity. None of them reminded him of a simpler time, when he never had to worry about war or gigantic destructive dragons or fighting. A time where it was fine for him to be nothing more than a baby prince trying to hide behind Gerome and clinging to him. It can't be him anymore now, but this moment makes it feel just a little bit like that again.

It's only when those quiet moments pass and Inigo is absolutely sure that there are no longer any tears rolling down his cheeks that he finally lets go of the other again, pulling himself slowly out of the arms to take a step back.

".. I suppose I should show you around, huh." Can't stand here and hug forever. No matter how nice it is.
