Returning Hime's bow with one of his own, Rei hoped that his most certainly red cheeks and ears were prevented from sight. Nervously handing over both of his gifts to her, Rei continued his attempts of hiding his blush by adjusting his glasses.]

Oh... No, no- You weren't late... Besides! As lovely as your performance was it is perfectly logical to assume that you were busy with new fans and admires!
