flatteries: (i've memorized that phrase by heart)

This is breaking his heart. It's taking absolutely everything Inigo has got in this moment to not look sad to see her so obviously struggling with all of this - because he doesn't want to look sad right now. He wants to be strong for her. He wants to show her a smile in the middle of all of this, so hopefully the young girl can feel at least a little bit reassured, rather than only more worried by seeing someone older than her so worried.

"You know.. There are actually many reasons why people might not be able to talk to each other for a while." And for longer than a while, but he doesn't feel like this is the moment to go into the concept of death with the girl. It will likely only make her feel worse. "Right now we are very far away from the person you're thinking of. Really, really far away," he explains, trying to keep his tone as gentle as possible, the smile still on his lips. "So it might be a little bit hard for her to talk to you right now. But you will hear her again. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but-- soon, I'm certain."
