But even though Inigo is pretty sure Blue doesn't exactly view him as the strongest or bravest person around, he doesn't want to lose face even further. He doesn't want to be seen as weak or scared.

[ Inigo forces himself to send the words - mostly so he knows he can't back out anymore, now he's made a promise to a friend.
No matter how antsy he is. ]
