[If there's one thing Ragna is even worse at than giving gifts, it's receiving gifts. He can't remember the last time he got one (if ever), and if you ask him, it's for the best ─ that way, he doesn't "owe" anyone anything. He honestly didn't expect a present in return (if anything, he'd be content with a simple "thx" message), so finding the giftcard in the mail was not only a surprise, but it also left him with mixed feelings. Not that's he's not happy with it, mind you ─ but being grateful for it doesn't make it any easier for this stubborn oaf to accept being given something. For what it's worth, a part of him sort of realizes he's being ridiculous, so he decides to try and swallow his pride this one time as he sends Rose a text.]
hey got your card you didn't have to
[It's only after he sends it that he realizes that maybe it's not the best possible way of expressing gratitude, so he figures it's better to actually follow it up with something else.]
thanks imma use it well and yeah i remember that no worries it'll be nice to eat out something that isn't cheap ass fast food for a change though
wanna tag along?
[Because he's a friendless loser and going to a restaurant that's fancier than McDonald's alone seems kind of... sad. Plus she'd be getting something out of it, too, so maybe he'd feel less awkward about her spending money on him.]
