[Gokudera hugs her warm and firm, glad she seems so happy. He hadn't meant to move her to tears with the gift, but he had meant to thank her properly. Eponine has more than earned it.]

I mean... you should wear it whenever you'd like, though. Lady Qi'ra would stop you from wearing a dress?

[He doesn't like the thought of someone keeping her from that.]

You are beautiful, Eponine.

[Gokudera squeezes her in his hug, and then nods.]

Thank you for saving my life and being a good friend to me.
