[ Thankfully Inigo sees that last part of what it is, even under the current circumstances. Or rather, under Inigo's current flustered circumstances. It's the tone that does it, making a faint smile appear on Inigo's face, even if the rest of his expression still seems like the facial expression version of It's Complicated. ]

I don't think people adhere by those kinds of strict dating rules where he's from. [ Inigo lightly jokes in return.

He's trying. Especially since he realises Jingyi is being so kind to him here. Hearing him out even though the other is tired, trying to be gentle with Inigo after he asked for it. It means he has to do his own part too. ]

But.. yeah. Even aside from that specific girl.. I don't know how he feels about the idea of having something like that with a guy in general. He already found it odd the first time I asked him for a hug. [ Like it's weird for two guys to hug each other! Please! It sure isn't in Inigo's little mental world. ] So it doesn't seem very likely that he's ever thought of getting together with a guy.
