Zafika watches Garrot carefully, now once again in the mode of trying to read his expressions, meaning they get to watch his expression as he exhales softly through his nose. And they feel like if he wasn't, apparently trying to fix this, that would have been a sigh.
Then he brings up his children, and they're mentally reeling, because of course Garrot is a father, and this means that he has people waiting for him at home in Koskenkorva. They still end up averting their eyes, because their accident could have been lethal, so having Garrot be so calm and accepting about it now, after that outburst, it manages to make them feel even more guilty. But he's right, nobody's ever going to know this happened. They don't want to cause discourse between the Knights, so they'll take this to the grave, with all the emotions they're suppressing still. It's not healthy, but that's not important. They've made it this far suppressing and bottling everything up, they can get through this death game too.
They look up at Garrot when he mentions them possibly being uncomfortable with the idea of this being a gift, and oh look, there's the tiniest smile tugging at the corner of their mouth at Garrot and their now-routine 'doctor's orders' bit. They look at the slightly opened the box, before they exhale and at least reach over to open the box properly.
And actually physicall reel back when they see the contents of it, because what the fuck!? Are those? Yes! Yes they are! "Garrot...! I, wh- what the hell those are expensive where, how-" Congratulations Garrot, you have rendered the assassin speechless. They very, very carefully pick up the glasses, rotating them in their hands and holding them like they'll break any second. Because there are one of the few things that can block the Basilisks' petrification ability, and they are very, very expensive. They've never had them, of course, because of that, besides, as a kid and teen they never really, believed? That these would work?
