deeming the encounter as 'successful', hibiki returns to this previous task of reading - now with a gifted camera in tow. ⠀⠀⠀❛ if that is all... do get back to work, captain. ❜ and despite the plainness of his words, the corner of his lip rose, creating a lopsided smirk.

⠀⠀⠀❛ rest assured, i will have something sent to you in return. give my regards to your sister also. ❜

⠀⠀⠀❛ hm. ❜ it may just be better given to someone else, less kagura adds it to his stash. ⠀⠀⠀❛ should his next gift resemble the others, i will approach you about keeping them. ❜ moving on— ⠀⠀⠀❛ i thank you for your gift. ❜

⠀⠀⠀❛ very well. i will request them to be forwarded to you. ❜ hibiki takes her jest at face value, believing that she truly wanted that.

⠀⠀⠀❛ nowadays, he seeks to gift my favor in alcoholic beverages. ❜ he says, idly inspecting the camera. he will not speak of the gift attempts before then.

his boss has tried. hibiki remembers the first time kagura gave him a gift—as well as how quickly he left the room after seeing what it was. ⠀⠀⠀❛ ...lord kagura's gifts are much more fitting for his personal tastes. ❜

⠀⠀⠀❛ it is rare occurrence for me. ❜ he admits it plainly. there are little to no benefits to him obtaining gifts—equipment given for tasks notwithstanding. ⠀⠀⠀❛ that being said, i accept your gift. ❜ his free hand sticks out to receive it.

..a gift? had lord kagura requested this, he wonders. perhaps rejecting one too many invites to hit up the bar led to a hastily made consequence— ⠀⠀⠀❛ ..it was not my intention to decline, captain. ❜

⠀⠀⠀❛ you misunderstand me. ❜ mentally filing away the sister comment, sharp golden brown hues linger on not her expression but the item itself. ⠀⠀⠀❛ i ask about the offering itself. ❜

perusal of his book interrupted, hibiki closes it, using his right thumb as a makeshift bookmark. there is no move to take it from her yet; instead, the tool stares, thinking about oddity of this sudden event. ⠀⠀⠀❛ i'm afraid i don't understand. what is this? ❜

setting aside the rather familiar way of addressing him— ⠀⠀⠀❛ what may that be, captain yukio? ❜
