You can hand her the physical object with the understanding that she return it at a later date, yes.
Disco Imperium
The day has come. You never thought you'd be so sad in seeing someone climb aboard a ship. Your Master smiles at you as she always does, but you have had plenty of time to get to know her. You get the impression she's almost excited to go away for several months.
SEEN, NOT HEARD - ...Go away from you, perhaps?
RIVERINE EMPIRE [Challenging: Success] - No. She's excited to go towards adventure. She's missed it.
SWORD-ARM - Missed the danger.
MARK OF ULGU - Missed the chance to cut loose.
Your Master seems to notice your inner conflict somehow. She approaches you, takes your hat off, and then in one simple movement she puts her own atop your head. You are left blinking in surprise.
Mathilde: "Hold onto this until I return, will you?"
She smiles. You open your mouth, but nothing comes out. You close it, and just nod.
Mathilde: "Oh, and..."
She takes out a Coin and passes it to you.
Mathilde: "This too. Could you hold onto it as well?"
WINDSIGHT [GODLY: Failure] It's a completely normal Coin. Its face bears a dagger. How quaint and totally normal. You take it from her and close your hand around it, without turning it or looking at its other sides.
ACCOUNTING [Difficult: Failure] - ...Why would she just give you a normal Coin? That's odd. Does she want you to do more things with the EIC while she's gone? But no, she'd have been more explicit if she'd wanted that.
DOVE'S ADMIRATION [Legendary: Success] - It is a sign of trust, and a promise she will return.
You look up at your Master. You don't quite understand, and perhaps it is showing on your face a bit, but you nod. And finally, you are able to muster a genuine smile.
YOU - "I'll be waiting!"
