For a moment Inigo still lingers in the hug. It's just.. so nice. Even though Gerome seems very flustered and Inigo himself still a little bashful, it still feels comfortable to him. Much more than anything has in a while now.

It's only a few quiet - and perhaps even slight long - moments later that Inigo seems to realise the full reality of their situation.

".. Ah." He finally moves out of the hug, laughing slightly. "I guess I got so caught up in that that I completely forgot I was supposed to be teaching you about this game instead."
