"I was not offended, Bosric.  I was shamed.  Embarrassed.  I think what we are not on the 'same page' on, as you put it, is the value of the gift you gave me.  I forget your merchant background.  You probably dealt with such trinkets every day.  To me such a gift, from someone I like and admire very much, was a boon beyond measure.  I apologize for throwing myself at you."
