[He almost drops the surprise behind his back when Ravus opens the door. The man has always been gorgeous but seeing him in a well-tailored suit whiter than snow is breathtaking and for a moment Gladio simply stares.

Then his brain comes back to him.] Not much for subtle, no. Not when it comes to wining and dining. [He smiles then, one eyebrow cocked.] That's what you asked for, right? And let them gossip - I have the privilege of being your date tonight. They're probably just jealous.

[Before the satchel can fully settle on Ravus' shoulder, Gladio lifts his free hand and gently grabs onto the strap.] I know you are fully capable of carrying this, but I'd hate for the strap to wrinkle your jacket. [A wink.] And I have something else I'd rather see you wearing, if you'll permit it.

[Gladio finally reveals what he's been hiding and he hopes Ravus accepts the small token. It's a three-flower boutonniere, both buds in mid-bloom, and clearly these flowers are specially bred because all of them are smaller than their typical blossoms. A sylleblossom, to represent Tenebrae and to honor Ravus' home, a magnolia, to represent Ravus' noble stature, and a lavender rose, to represent how enchanted Gladio is by the ethereally gorgeous man in front of him. The flowers are interspersed with pristine baby's breath buds and even with all of those flowers the boutonniere is the perfect size - large enough to be seen yet small enough not to be overbearing.]

May I? [He's asking about both taking the satchel and adorning Ravus with the floral piece.]
