When the wrapping fell away and Tavros was able to see the cover of it, his mouth fell open. He'd seen this book in Flourish and Blotts before. It was one he'd wanted for... ever. Ever since he'd started Hogwarts. But it was expensive and... and holy cow, he just couldn't believe Karkat had gotten it for him! "Oh my god," he whispered in awe, staring down at the book with wide eyes.
He held it up and flipped it over. Yes, it was definitely the same one he'd been salivating over for years, right down to the thickness. The thickness filled with all of that information. Seeing Tavros look over the book was probably like witnessing a Ravenclaw who'd just gotten the book of their dreams. Because Tavros had. "I... do you, know how long I've wanted this?" he asked, finally tearing his eyes off of the book to look at Karkat. "Karkat! I... Thank you! I, uh, I... I don't know what to say!"
Behind the complete and total surprise in his eyes, there was... something like adoration. "I... I can't believe this," he said, and his eyes went back down to the book. "You're the best!"
