If Roland is actually glancing up at Inigo now, he may be able to catch the moment where a bit of tension seems to seep out of the teen. Even though he was making sure to talk to Roland throughout the whole thing and seem relatively calm as well, Inigo could still feel the tension very well of Roland suturing his own wound right in front of him. He was worried about the pain, all the small signs of it he saw from Roland..

But now he's just glad it's done. Inigo isn't good at watching people suffer and not doing anything about it. But it's not like he could have taken the needle from Roland and done it himself, so there was no other choice in this moment. So when Roland gets to work on cleaning the wound instead, Inigo's shoulders sag as the tension keeping them rigid leaves them.

"No, he didn't show up here on the train until recently. For a few months I was the only person from my world present on this train." Which sucked, but this is not about negativity, it's about distracting Roland with something positive-- "But I have known him back home for a really, really long time. Since we were children. I'm fairly sure that some of my earliest memories involve him. Our parents are friends, so we often met up because of that. Gerome is.. well, in some ways he's always been the same. Very serious. Guarded. He doesn't like letting things show, even though that's grown slightly more extreme ever since he started using that mask."
