[ The other packages, whether for his roommates or surprisingly for himself, had all been left at the door, unannounced. Thus, with the knock, he expects a person, and is puzzled upon opening the door, before noticing the package.
The silver does draw his eye, and the bow. Wrapped as though by hand, and as he stoops to pick it up, malleable and crinkling, something soft within.
Now, normally, one wouldn't stand in the hallway and open a package. The natural thing to do would be to retreat inside, shutting the door, and open it then. However, while his improved observation might not be able to help him with invisibility, the fact of the knock gives him a sense.
So, door open, casting a last glance along the hall, Gaelio unwraps with care, avoiding tearing the paper.
Sure enough, a slight, slight smile as he tugs loose the knitting, eyebrows lifting by increments. Slight, slight, the incline on reading the note. ]
Very much, thank you.
[ He likes it. And announcing that to the empty hallway might give him an air of madness, but it's hardly the biggest symptom of that. ]
this is... so cute...
