It's all good XD
Freddie looked down at the little item, his eyes wide, then began to unwrap it as she explained. He looked up at her intermittenly as she spoke. How well she knew him. He loved practical objects-- things with proper uses and good ideas behind them-- the kind of stuff he loved to invent. Giving her a nod, he freed it of its wrappings and grinned at the little object. "Gosh, Alice," he murmured, "It's ... bloody brilliant." Without thinking, he enveloped her in a grateful hug, overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness of the gift. He released her quickly, realising what he was doing, and stepped away with embarrassment evident on his face. "Erm, yeah. Thank you. A lot."
