[Another Look goes here and he'll just sigh, turning the box over in his fingers, debating just handing it back.]
And here I am without anything to give to you.
[Which comes out somewhat smarmy and smart, but he is serious. He didn't even consider the idea that anyone would get him anything. So he never thought to get gifts for anyone. Not that he'd actually BUY anything either. He'll set his drink aside and pick at the wrapping and bow, undoing everything carefully, keeping it in tact instead of just ripping it to shreds.
He pulls out the ring, brows knitted a little in curiosity, as if trying to decipher some deeper meaning to this gift. Is there something you're not telling him Barry? He slips it on from one finger to the next till it fits on a pinky. It's snug enough it won't slip off, but loose enough he can toy with it idly with this thumb. Next is the watch, which is a surprising thing considering he's pretty sure Barry had to have spent a good portion of his savings on it. In other words...]
You... really shouldn't have...
[There's a touch of concern and a bit of a depreciating tone angled more at himself. He doesn't deserve this. Barry should be spending his hard earned money on his friends and family. His loved ones. Not some... criminal rival.]
