She watched him as he straddled the wall, eyes on his knee as her thumb began to draw circles on it. "Its not strange...I like you and I have fun buying you things." She shook her head. "What else would I need to spend my money on? I have everything I need, and what I don't have I can owl home for." Including money. "You shouldn't feel bad." Especially since she'd bought him things to feel good.
A small smile formed on her face as she peeked up at him. "How can you be grateful when you don't even know what I got you?" Her smile wanted to grow wider, but she kept it at bay. Did this mean he wanted to see what she got him? She'd wait to hear his response before getting all excited again. He nodded slowly, making sure to listen to each of her words and take them fully to heart. There was a final nod to tell her he understood, that he would try not to feel guilty over it. It was after all, her choice of what she did with her money, and that she had spent it on him because she wanted to, he supposed he should be honored. And he was.
A small smile touched his lips at her question, and he shrugged his shoulder a little. "Because I have you."
