No matter how tired Inigo feels, there's such a warm smile on his face as he watches Gyousou gently rufffle Taiki's hair. It's so obvious from Taiki's actions how much the king means to him, and so Inigo can only figure how much getting such a comforting gesture from him must mean as well. And it's great. This is what Taiki deserves. Nothing but kindness and happiness.
Except the same gesture is suddenly turned onto him by Gyousou as well, and Inigo blushes. It's easy to write off as embarrassment on the part of someone much too old to receive hair ruffling, but no, it's just.. nice. Even as he kind of feels like he might be intruding here on something private between two people who belong together. Someone like him - a prince without a kingdom, a son without parents, a child fallen outside of time itself - doesn't really belong here.
But it feels nice, and for that he'll indulge in the selfishness of enjoying it anyway.
"You tell me. I could eat a ho--" Oh wait, what if that saying also stomps all over the apparent delicate sensibilities of Gyousou and Taiki's world?! "A... a whole.. cabbage..?" (An attempt was made.)
