[This is a man who clearly hasn't gotten used to physical affection from anyone outside of his boyfriend. The sudden hug makes him tense and he awkwardly pats her shoulder with an ice cold hand. His whole body feels frozen, literally and figuratively. He's terrible at this!! But she's been nice to him and he knows this is what People Do, so-
He tries to be less awkward about it. Unfortunately, that's impossible for this horrible reaper man and he just pats her shoulder. Again and again. ]
You're quite welcome. I thought it might still be a custom to give a present. It seems common in most worlds. Um. I hope you like it.
