[ Yzak glances at his hand, and the fleeting thought he has isn't really a disappointment (maybe just? a smidge?) so much as a self-reflection. But it's not really negative in nature, as he doesn't really feel that bad a way about himself - he knows who he is and what he's like. Even when Dearka is hanging off of a shoulder or Newton is throwing himself on him and slobbering all over his cheek, ugh, the toleration he puts on is always with an underlying appreciation. So really, it's fine, it would have been fine! But alas, being like a crabby cat that actually enjoys affection and attention but is barely acclimated to the softer types of it because he runs around bristling and hissing all day long to offput everybody.
Like all brief and harmless thoughts, though, it doesn't cause him to miss a beat beyond that glance. ]
You're welcome. And I'm glad to hear that, of course...! [ Because he also feels accomplished, since he aims for this. He likes when he gets this sort of payoff, because it puffs up his ego a little, like of course he always gives great gifts, see! Just continuing to prove that fact. (and wrapped up with that feeling is a general sense of being glad that he can do something nice for people he cares about) Yzak points at the other box. ] The other one isn't as ... complex, you could say. But that doesn't mean I put any less thought into it!
