[The moment is quite picturesque. Like something out of a romance novel what with the flowers and all. Some go their whole lives dreaming of a scene where one meets their other half during a moment like this. There are no confessions here, of course, only declarations of duty and friendship. For that is what they are. Just dear and cherished friends!
And then... Laslow makes his offer and you can nearly hear the glass shattering over this particular scene. Xander's brow furrows at once and he drops his retainer's hands to fold his arms over over his chest instead, an unhappy huff is quick to follow.]
Absolutely not. I forbid you from getting anything for me. If you wish to aquire items for yourself, I can hardly stop you. But I refuse, outright, that sort of thing. I do not need anything or want anything at all, regardless of what you may think.
I insist that you do not debase yourself on my account. Whatever you intend to procure for me will not be worth whatever deed you end up doing. Is that quite clear, Laslow?
