The higgledies are more than quiet - they're resting against Inigo, it almost seems like. Laying down on the space of his shoulder, the breadth of his lap; planes and dips where they can find. The unity of their bond is a quick affair, but it seems to be the type that will last. For that, Roland sends Jumblie his silent, heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for accepting him. Please, stay with him even when I can't.

At Inigo's declaration, Roland merely nods and lets his actions do the rest of the talking. He's said enough, and he knows the message has been received well by the boy before him. The higgledies around his body sense some movement from Roland, who soon leans in with his arms wide open, pulling Inigo into another firm embrace. Though this time, he does something different, spurned on by his own sentiments; a quiet kiss with pursed lips against the side of Inigo's hair.

He doesn't let go for a while.
