[As for Bruno, he remains oblivious to the shift that's just occurred for Polnareff. Bruno drops his barrettes into his makeup bag followed by his eyeliner. The mirror, on the other hand, is only going to be put back once Bruno's had a moment it look at what he can of his reflection to see how they look in his hair. He runs his fingers through the ends of his hair a few times for some minor adjustments. Polnareff's right, they do look good. He'll have to see about getting a suit with the right shade of green for accents that would match it better than any of the ones he has now.]
Well, if you really get stuck, [he says, closing the mirror and dropping it into his bag before zipping it up,] I'm alright with considering these a very early birthday present.
[Because as would likely be anticipated, Bruno is probably the least likely to be all that fussed about needing or wanting anything for his birthday let alone be the sort of person who would demand and expect something to be given to him on the exact day. And he only says as much without any sort of explicit acknowledgement that he really doesn't particularly need or want anything because to him, it's really not about him or necessarily what he wants. He knew at the time that marking his birthday with something was important to Giorno and Mista, so he acquiesced for their sakes. Polnareff appears to be much the same way, so Bruno doesn't bother with protesting even if he's fairly certain that if he pushed it hard enough, he could likely make Polnareff abandon the idea at least temporarily.]
[Besides, it's not like Bruno doesn't understand what it feels like to do something for someone else and how important that feeling is. He'd be a hypocrite if he asked anyone to sit on that feeling against their wishes.]
