[It sure took him a while to find a suitable gift for Shinoa, but when he finally found it, he didn't waste time and send it right away; he'd leave it in their room, but he wasn't sure whether she already headed out to Lasker or not.
The small box wrapped in a paper and tied with a matching ribbon will have a short note attached.]
Shinoa, I would like to thank you once more for what you did. I truly appreciate that you did not hide the truth...please, accept this as a token of my gratitude. Gilbert
[Inside, she'll find neatly assorted hairbows coming in many different colors.]
[Maybe two, three months ago he would be more surprised that his carrier coughed up a note, but not now. While he doesn't have anything against writing notes or letters really, calling her would be quicker, so Gil does just that.
Before he even has a chance to greet her, the first sound Shinoa may hear various noises, from people talking to machinery noises.]
I'm at the train station, on my way to Lasker. Honestly speaking, I thought you went ahead.
I have! But I brought my bird along for situations like these.
Look, Gil-chan! I put one of the ribbons on, don't I look cute and gorgeous?
[The feed is of Shinoa in what might be a hotel room, with a faint background bustle of crowds in the distance. It's reminiscent of the Hall of Glory's rooms.
She turns her head and points to one of the ribbons Gilbert gave- pale green- now nestled in her hair securing her side braids.]
[He still needs to get on the train, so his voice fades only to be replaced by the background noise. Actually, no longer than a half a minute later, the feed is interrupted.]
[Gil calls her again a few minutes later, though. Shinoa may see him removing his coat and putting it on a free seat just next to him.]
I'm sorry, I got the time wrong and had to get on board immediately. But I'm in the right compartment now, so we can continue. Could you show me them again?
There's no need to thank me...I'm just telling the truth.
[He's not a person to pay much attention to these things, but Gil certainly thinks of her as a cute girl, no matter whether she's wearing those ribbons or not.]
So how's the situation in Lasker? Did you already have a walk around?
[ Well, no shit, her name is the ID. Takumi still wanted to ask because it's proper. How else can you repay someone without showing utmost respect and finesse in approach? ]
I still owe you one and now I have some colle, so... What do you want? Or do you just want money.
[There's a pause of consideration after that. She'll always appreciate more money, but it's not as if she can demand any substantial amount from him. ]
It's not a huge favour, I admit.... you can just get me something small. Buy me a meal or a cheap show ticket, if you're bad at gift shopping. How's that?
[ Meals are usually easy, but he can't say he would accompany everyone and anyone. Also... She seems like the type that would swindle more money out of him.
Yeah, he's going to pass. ]
You can't tell me you don't like it once I get it for you, all right?
[He guesses right about her, but lucky for him she's aware it's not the best idea to start swindling acquaintances that could become allies. Shinoa shrugs.]
Why can't I? But okay, I won't demand another meal even if it sucks. Meal or show or gift, your choice.

You know you're not making a great first impression, Shinoa.
