Odd response to a simple gift 58.5.6>38

[Florafauna]

I have a professional acquaintance who has lots of interesting rocks in their office a small white rock I had found in my travels. He looked at it and then exclaimed awww it's adorable! And then turned his back to me and said something i couldn't hear, that I'm sure wasn't meant for my ears.
First, I don't know him very well, but all my interactions with him have been calm serious and unemotional. How he exclaimed awww was very innocent and childlike, which I can see in hex 58. And I can see the "opposition" of hex 38 in turning away and saying something under his breath.

Line 5 speaks of danger in trusting plunderers, or trusting one who would wish for others disadvantage, or trusting illusion, almost like he thought I was trying to seduce him?

And lime 6 speaks of an opening that pulls...

I have always thought that if we were to become friends, I would really like that because he seems so stable and self knowing, that he is not the type to be led astray.

Just wondering if you may be able to provide insight, so that I will feel more confident in my interactions with him, no matter where it leads.

I wasn't able to edit, but I have him a small white rock I had found in my travels.

i think maybe 58.5 advises not to expect reciprocity or it will bring trouble. and 58.6 to not get hopes too high in achieving friendship / getting any rewards. i imagine if you were only interacting on professional and unemotional level up until this point the gift might have got him confused. and although the initial reaction was most likely sincere the gift probably makes him wonder what is it that you expect in return so this could lead him to some discomfort or to things getting a bit weird (38) moving onwards.

Ok, thank you. I am grateful for your response. It was literally giving just to give, so I don't see any complications there. And as far as things getting weird, he will know through experiencing my behavior towards him over time that there's no reason to return anything to me.
Thank you for ideas on self reflection. It's just my natural state of mind to assume people are just giving to give, and that they don't expect anything back from me. But I can empathize with any concern he may have. Time will prove it, I hope.
