[ He almost immediately notices the change in her expression, and quickly realises that she must've gotten the wrong idea. Shit. What does he do? What does he say? In a haste, he grabs her hands ー well, he meant to grab the plate, but. Y'know. ]

That's not it!

[ Oh crap, he's getting loud. He looks away for a moment, clearing his throat. ]

Uh... I... it's real chill of you.

[ Shit, that's not it either. Can't he say something better?! ]

[ He releases a hand to mess his own hair, grunting, struggling with the words that can't seem to come out right. Turning his head back to Tsumiki, he frowns. ]

Look, I'm real happy, aight?! Like, seriously fuckin' happy!! I've never received chocolates for Vale-- this shit before, so. Uh.
