<p>It is symbolic.  In this scene, he is cleaning his weapons.  In Gusseppie's mind, Ein is not human, she is a weapon.  An inanimate object, and in the same way he cares for is ruger, he cares for Ein.  While I don't think he was literally rubbing her down in weapons lubricant or copper solvent, I believe the intent was the same.  </p>

He... actually was putting gun oil on her body. - source the anime and the 2001 copy of the original visual novel the anime was based off of that I own. Edit: Either way, he is still a egotistical pervert. *shudders*.

<p>In <em>Requiem for the Phantom</em> (episode 3, ~6:30), the Scythe Master puts some kind of oil or lube on Ein's body. Why would he put lube on her body?</p>
