Startled, Lan Wangji looks down at the watch, frozen for a moment. His instinct is to refuse it. It would be the polite thing to do. This was a gift, and not one meant for him.
But Galahad would not have offered it if he didn't mean it. They don't need to rely on what etiquette dictates. He understands what this gesture means, and aches a little with the kindness of it. He takes the watch. "When she is gone, I'll return it to you."
