"Ren... This is..." It's a very cool gift, he cannot lie to himself. Just like the ones he's seen in those spy movies. A part of him already wondered just how good he could become at it. He still vividly remembered what a badass the streamer had been that time, opening the door to the off-limits area for Cyno and friends to go and "catch" the ghost of the Egyptian priest.
The only reason why he held back his excitement was that he very much could feel Chongyun's stare boring right through the back of his head.
Play cool... Nothing suspicious here.
"Thank you. It's touching to see you've cherished those memories so fondly that you'd think about me when you saw this." ... Was that even a compliment or had he just inadvertently roasted himself? Was it a good thing to be thought of when looking at a crime tool?
No, no. He couldn't think like that. A lock-picking kit did not necessarily imply one was up to do crime.
Wait, he knew the answer!
"We should go hunt for buried treasure chests together sometime soon. I think we wouldn't need much else."
Maybe for Ren's birthday he'll get him a shovel.
