more like 3 for henry 5 for inigo lbr.....

[ Even if Henry might be.. well, Henry no matter the situation, Inigo isn't nearly as calm and fascinated about all of this as the other is. Especially not when Henry was a little vague on his answer whether or not there's bears in this cave. It's not that Inigo has trouble fighting them - really, after having to fight plenty of bandits and having to kill even humans after arriving here in the past for a while, bears are nothing - but he'd still prefer to be able to avoid having angry bears pounce him. But he knows going out in the snow is no option either, so all they can do is wait out the storm here and hope that Olivia isn't worrying too much about them.

Still, he's pretty cold. He doesn't have a cloak like Henry to keep him warm in the middle of the snowstorm, and despite the shelter, the cold is still seeping through Inigo's own clothes. It's why he can't sit down like Henry, he keeps moving back and forth, sometimes bouncing from foot to foot as if he's trying to keep himself warm by moving.

But admitting he's not entirely doing okay right now is far beyond Inigo. Especially in front of Henry, the younger version of his father - he wants him to be proud of him, to think he's strong and unfazed by everything just like the others, just like strong Lucina and smart Laurent and stoic Gerome. Just like Henry himself can keep smiling no matter what.

That last thought fuels him enough to smile despite the way his body involuntarily shivers. ]


I-- I'm fine, Father! I do suppose it is a little chilly [ understatement of the year ] but nothing I can't handle. I was just--

[ ... time to make up an excuse.. ]

.. just.. training my movement in the cold while we're stuck here either way! Yes, that's it! [ So convincing, Inigo. ]
