[And for that moment, Xiao just stalls, at something of a loss on what to do. It seemed as though this was... something the human used to help himself, so surely he should be the one to keep it? Yet he was offering it, and it would be rude to turn away a gift...
So after opening and closing his mouth a few times, as though he was going to protest or ask something, he tentatively held his hand out.
Even for a moment after accepting he's quiet, looking at the gift in thought.]
I am Adeptus Xiao. If you find yourself in trouble, call my name. I will come to your aid.
[The other had said a return gift was unnecessary, but this felt... like the right thing to offer. To offer a gift was a sort of kindness, and thus... that should be protected? Perhaps?
He was struggling to puzzle it all out in his head, but that's what he was going to go with for now.]
