"Now I understand why you don't like gifts," said Shui Xian as he nuzzled into her hair. "You need someone to help you interpret the meaning behind those gifts."
Raelle stayed quiet in reply. One could say that she really needed someone to interpret the meaning behind gifts. Especially, if the gifts were symbolic and meaningful. Because she'd definitely not be understanding the thoughts or emotions put into a gift. However, that was not the only reason.
"You're not wrong. But I have another reason... I don't like taking anything from people," she told him. "Even if it's just a gift. I'd rather take what I want on my own than allow someone else to get it for me instead."
Shui Xian paused before he wrapped his one arm around her waist. "Then from now, I'll make sure to interpret everything you can't understand." Raelle tilted her head to look at him as he went on, "Also, you can't say no to my gifts."
"Why can't I?"
