Zafika looks towards the stairs when they hear Garrot shout in turn, but he, doesn't come down immediately? Okay he said he'd be down in a minute but usually people mean that they're heading down that exact moment. It doesn't ease their mind at all, they almost start pacing because Garrot is taking his time staying upstairs.
When they finally hear him come down, they're both relieved, and increasibly more nervous and unsure about what's going to happen now. So, they watch what he does, and as he sits down on the couch, they move to sit on the opposite end. And honestly, they could still disappear into the couch, even moreso now when they're, almost seeming smaller? Body language does things like that, even when they try to have an iron grip control on their body language.
Their poker face betrays them though when Garrot apologises, because they didn't expect that. Not because Garrot isn't the type to apologise, but because they feel like he doesn't have to do that, they're the one who were in the wrong with this. So, they end up looking little surprised. "No, no you had every right to freak out and be angry... that was completely unacceptable for me to do." Except then Garrot sniffles, and they freeze, because oh no is he going to cry!? Please don't cry they don't know what to do about people crying!
The mention about a gift just, further gives them a whiplash, but also feels like a punch in the gut. He had clearly planned them to relax and have a fun evening and they fucked that over. "I, don't really know if I deserve that anymore...? I didn't expect to even get anything in the first place?" But they're not freaking out about that hand in his pocket, so that's a good sign.
