[He puts a hand over his heart, smiling.]

Aww. You know me so well.

I'll use this daily, dude.

I'll put all kinds of good stuff in this, even when it has no right being there.

[coordination]

I'm sure you will. [ Sarcastic, but affectionate. ] And I fully expect to see this thing out and well-used the next time you decide to throw some kind of silly movie party! [ Silly, he says, like he didn't hang out the whole time and enjoy it last time.

He offers up the second gift after that.

It's ... a gunpla model! Small, but pretty well detailed when built, joints and fingers movable and fully posable.

Specifically, it's a small model of the ZAKU Newton designed himself back in the simulation that time, right down to the colors and little decals he went ham with making - mohawk, spikes and all. The box even has the name, Fox Mulder, on it. ]

[... Oh. He blinks at the gift, not quite registering what he's looking at just yet. But when it clicks, a soft little 'oh' escapes him, and he oh-so-carefully collects the small model in his hands.]

Man, is this —

... You got Fox Mulder made for me?

[What the hell, Yzak! What the hell's this great kind of gift he can't possibly top?????]

[coordination]

You enjoyed customizing it, didn't you?

And you're clearly into these sorts of things. [ Even if Yzak doesn't particularly see gunpla models or toys as a very fun hobby. Not when he's used his own to kill so frequently. But then again, Newton is a special case, fascinated with the very monsters trying to destroy his world. So he doesn't quite jive on the vibe in general, but he still understands it. ]

So, it'll give you something to do with your hands when you're bored. [ Another trait he's picked up on. ]

[groupiedrifter]

AW.

[Oh, he's got that glint in his eye. You know the one.

Or maybe you don't, and this big squishy hug comes out of nowhere for you, Yzak.

Either way, you're getting crushed.]

You totally outdid yourself! Thanks, man! I'll cherish Fox Mulder forever...!

[coordination]

[ Oh no.

He knows that glint indeed, and doesn't even fight it when Newton comes in for the kill. This is a much better sort of situation to be hugged in than the last time, in that castle, in those memories. So maybe it's because of that that Yzak doesn't struggle as much against it. He still lets out an exasperated little ugh, but allows it. ]

I— I always strive to outdo myself!

[ One hand comes up to awkwardly give him a pat on the back in return. ]
