[ It's not the first time Bernie is giving Hubert something out of nowhere, so she's not as nervous as she could be. Maybe he won't question her about it this time? Or, well, he won't be able to question her right away if she has it delivered. (She feels very smart for this.)
So, she has it delivered! A package arrives at her friends' apartment, containing a few other gifts for Ferdinand and Dorothea. The one that's addressed to Hubert is a gift-wrapped journal. Its pages are clean and lined, and the cover has some flowers hand-stitched onto the center; at least one should be familiar to him, because it's the same flower she made a pin to give to him at home. Overall, it's not very fancy, but she hopes it's... presentable. Hopefully. She doesn't know. Maybe it sucks. It's fine, she sends everything before she second-guesses herself too badly.
Inside the journal is a card: ]
I thought about it, and I think this is probably more useful than a pin would be, so I think you'd like it more! I hope you find some use for it here.
[And once he had gotten the gift, and looked through it, he sent her a message!]
My dearest Bernadetta, I quite enjoy the idea of the practicality of the journal over the pin as well, and I'm pleased you also thought of this. I'll repay the favor- soon. When you least expect it. Do watch your back.
[he meant it sincerely but it sounded so. menacing.]
Of course he does! He's really nice. It's why I don't want to spend too much of his money when I don't need to.
[ And why she really wants to keep her job at the tailorshop, so she has her own money. (She does not, in fact, know if Hubert has a job. he probably does??) ]
Hermes! He's sweet and kind. I brought him apple pie when he was sad. He came and talked to me about living with him after that time the Submissive housing got a little banged up.

What would you like as a gift, I wonder...

Fodd can be poisoned... or here, you don't know what's in them. Flowers are a little safer, aren't they? They don't yell, or hit anyone.

You really don't have to. I didn't expect you to give me anything back, I promise. I know it's hard for us to buy things.

And he works at Fangtasy, pretending to be a vampire and biting people.]
