"Some cultures call it a gift. Don't worry about it."
Matthias looked pleased by Freya's reaction as it was not necessarily the one he had anticipated. He took a second to enjoy the moment and cast a look outside while taking another sip from the now almost drained glass of Rheinland Ale.
"As I have said, you have done a lot for the Armee and the party. This is a small token of appreciation for keeping the flame burning while I was gone." His voice trailed off a bit before resuming his thought. "Amongst fighting these- these Corsair raids, Rheinwehr patrols, Wilde incursions and such it is easy to forget that we all need some rest. Easy to forget we're humans with individual needs, rather than machines for war."
He turned to face her again and smiled.
"I am glad you like it."
