We love with all that we can muster, and then some.
At least that's true, isn't it, Inigo thinks as he listens to those words, his eyes closed. Isn't that almost like his personal creed, the thing he lives and dies by? Even if he's unsure of his own qualities, of what he can do, Inigo knows he can at least do this much. He can love with all he's got. The one thing he can share with other people, even though it hurts him in the end when that love suddenly falls away.
At least he's slowly starting to get a bit more comfortable against Roland. Mostly since he always gets more comfortable like this, cuddling with someone to go sleep, but the fact that it's Roland helps a lot. There's just a sense of warmth around the other, a sense of safety. Maybe that's the love Roland is giving him in turn.
"I hope I did well.. I want to do this." His words are a bit softer and mumbled, like he is on the edge of sleep with his face buried against Roland, but it definitely isn't sleeptalk yet. He's still lucid enough to think about what he's saying, hence why it's something he's comfortable with admitting. "I don't want anyone to suffer by themselves. I want to be there for them.. Bucky, Yuki, even Gerome.. They've all had to deal with a lot."
(Granted, Gerome had to deal with practically the same things as Inigo, and yet Inigo cuts the guy much more slack over it than he'd ever give himself. Typical.)
"You too, father.. you've dealt with so much. So I want to be there for you.. If that means giving so much of myself, that's fine."
