Gerome's mask hid a great many things. Currently it hid the mild look of concern at Inigo's uncharacteristic behaviour.
While he didn't consider himself an expert by any means, he had watched Inigo enough to believe he could work out some of his emotions, even if most baffled him. And there was a look on his face now that was puzzling Gerome. And he didn't know why.
And almost... Almost he was tempted to ask. Almost, the words were on the tip of his tongue to say. Almost he asked if Inigo was alright.
Until the idiot goes and says that.
Gerome's back straightened and his brows knitted together in a frown of irritation.
"... Are you deliberately trying to annoy me? Or is this a side effect of something I am unaware of? Have you hit your head and lost the rest of your mind?" Because it was starting to seem a little like he was trying to hurt him. Unless Gerome was just being more sensitive than normal. He was in a strange place, after all. The only familiar thing anywhere... was Inigo. The same Inigo who was, apparently, judging him for not looking happy. When did he ever? Why was it so important now?
