[ It's hard to miss the emotion in Roland's embrace, even with as overwhelmed by his own feelings as Inigo is feeling right now. The hug itself is not necessarily a surprise, after all, Roland has made attempts to comfort him pretty consistently every single time Inigo seemed upset.
But that was always just warm. Just Roland trying his best to show his affection, his desire for Inigo to feel better. This is different - especially with those words that follow it up. And it's not even necessarily bad, since Inigo does feel assured to have Roland so close to him at a moment like this, but it's obvious Roland isn't doing well either. That he's also worried.
And who could blame him? They both lost loved ones in events that looked very similar to what may be about to happen here. Roland's heart must be trembling with the same fear as his own.
Inigo's gaze travels over to Roland's face, studying it as the man looks at the sky. ]
Father. [ It's said softly, yet there's a hint of a plea in it, as if Inigo wants to draw Roland's attention to him rather than to the sky.
And the word itself - it sounds more meant than ever, because it feels like they're falling into these roles more easily and stronger than ever before in these circumstances. ]
I'm not going anywhere else. I'm going with you to the purple point. [ Because he's sure Roland is heading there, as team leader, and there is absolutely no way Inigo could let the other out of his sight under these circumstances, even if purple would have enough people heading there already.
It's what Inigo promised Tidus too, after all. ]
We-- We should hurry. I don't know if we have enough time.
