[ He's not too surprised that Henry sees right through him, honestly. If anyone would, it's Henry, after all - despite how he seems so weird most of the time, Inigo knows that his father is onto him more easily than most people. It's why he was able to keep up this attitude so well in the future, because his father and mother had no longer been there. No one left to be able to tell he's just trying to act big to cover up his insecurities and weaknesses.
It's why he immediately stops on the spot for a moment, looking awkward as his gaze slides away from Henry, biting his lower lip lightly. The last thing he wants to do in this situation is be an inconvenience, is making things harder for his father when all he wants is to be able to carry other people's burdens.
Inigo hardly notices Henry approaching because of it before he feels that familiar cloak falling over his shoulders. It feels heavier than it actually is, if not just since it's such a stark reminder of all what was left of his father after everything went down in the future, but he at least tries his best to not show that.
Instead he just looks at Henry cautiously, slowly speaking up. ]
Are you sure? I mean-- you probably need it more than I do, Father. [ He was going to protect Henry this time around, right? Not let Henry protect him once more. ]
