[Ah, there. That's it for the usual storage! But Gil sure looks like he likes those jewels...]
Tohsaka's expertise is in the movement of energy. We can store our energy in jewels to use later, and we can manipulate them with it. Look--
[He takes an unused jewel from the box in front of him and starts to put prana into it. He's disciplined, so it won't break. But he's not refined enough to do whatever he likes. He's learning though -- with effort, the jewel twists and grows, creaking until it's given shape.
It's an imperfect, almost crude little cat, but it keeps glowing and doesn't fall apart, and he still smiles when he hands it to his Servant.]
Here. When I'm an adult, I'm sure I'll be able to make really beautiful things, if I want. Even if it is a bit frivolous.
[This shiny thing?! For me?! Gil doesn't seem to care that it looks a little wonky; true, it's nothing compared to what he has in his treasury, but it's quaint, something from this era crafted for him.
He cups his hands around the cat, practically glowing]
Frivolous things make for the best treasures, master. Things made for making's sake are often more interesting and more precious.
[As such, that's going straight into the gate. HIS CAT NOW.]
If you demand utility, then it's a waste, that's obvious! But in exchange you've made me quite happy, so there is use in that still. We will worry about efficiency and usefulness later - for now, enjoy yourself instead.
[bitty Gil frowns - not disapprovingly, only thoughtfully. This sort of view on life goes against his very nature, and he can't say he likes seeing his Master so troubled and confused]
While I was king in life, you are free to see me as you will: as a tool, a familiar, a partner... but I believe that by working side by side and knowing one another thoroughly, we will see success.
[And he gives a cute little bow]
For this purpose, I request that you waste time with me.

[It takes him a moment to figure out how to respond to that. Eventually, he returns the bow quite nervously.]
I-I will do my best!
[first step might be learning not to approach fun with formality.]
