Billy might've been holding his breath a little. Upon realizing that Jamie appreciates the gifts, his face looks just as pleased as Jamie's. He'd chosen someone's gifts correctly, at least. "You're welcome."
When Jamie says he couldn't find any unicorns, he chuckles: "How disappointing." Not that he needs one. Billy has the only fierce unicorn he'll ever need sitting down in the hangar. At the same time, the comment stokes his curiosity about the contents of the small package.
When he opens the gift, the clan badge sits in his open palm for a moment while he studies it. It's finely crafted, elegant, and, he realizes, incredibly meaningful. Highlanders, he remembered, often wore badges like this to denote their allegiances to their families or clans. That Jamie would share this piece of his heritage with Billy was something to be treasured.
"I'll wear it with pride. Thank you, Jamie," he says with quiet sincerity and a smile, lightly patting his friend's shoulder with his free hand.
