[He quietly unfolds it, spreading it out in front of himself to get a good look at the scale, the logo, the details- all of it. It's... actually an excellent reproduction. Especially considering they're wandering through space surrounded by people who've never heard of any of them.

After a moment he drops it back down, carefully re-folding it, another small smile on his face. This is a good gift.]

Thank you... I'll have to find a good space for it.

[His walls are literally empty, there's lots of space.]

[There's a clicking sound as Kaname lowers her communicator. It doesn't take a genius to realize she just took a picture of his smile, especially judging by her own.]

Choosing which wall to hang it on might pose a challenge.

[He gives her a look for a long moment, because- really? really? ...but fine, he'll allow it. Keep your photos, if you must.]

If you have any suggestions, I'll accept your professional opinion.

[She certainly understands aesthetics better than him.]

[axi]

[Really! And yes, she must. Her smile turns into a knowing grin at his own expression.]

By your bed might be a nice place. A good way to frame the room...

[vartex]

Mm. That's a good idea.

[He sets it down on the box, fingers brushing over the fabric thoughtfully.]

It might be good to be greeted with some colour when I enter the room, for once.

[Since his room's been boring and plain both here and back on Ragna...]

[axi]

We could always try and paint the walls.

[Don't let her start that, Messer.]

[vartex]

[please, one step at a time.]

I feel as though that would be a wasted effort, considering the attention I give to the aesthetics.

[AKA barely any at all.]
