The teen became a bit confused when he started frowning, and getting flustered. "Cause I wanted to..." And now she was confused. Was she not allowed to buy him gifts? "I wanted to get you something...it was fun..." Shopping for him was new and exciting which made it fun, she didn't understand what was wrong with what she did. How would he react to her getting him more than one somethings. Sabel blinked at her again, drawing his head back a bit more. He hadn't meant...
Another blink.
It didn't matter what he had meant or not, it mattered how it had come out. Guilt suddenly seeded within his gut as he searched the disheartened look on her face. She had wanted to do this, had been excited to, and he was acting like she shouldn't have.
Dropping his eyes in shame, he frowned at the brick wall she was perched on for a moment, before moving to straddle it. Facing her, he took her hand in his, resting it on one of his knees. "I...didn't mean it like that Arya. I'm....not used to people just buying things for me. Giving things to me. It...it's strange to be honest. And I feel bad that you spent your money on me when...you'll need it for other things."
Shaking his head a little, he stroked the back of her hand, slowly drawing his eyes up to her. "I'm...sorry. For acting selfish. And I'm grateful." Grateful that he had her. She was all he ever needed, and he hoped she knew that. Knew that she didn't have to get him anything, that she was more than enough.
