A Gift Most Manly 2

Hey, [Nome]! How you been? Don't see you around Edelstein too much these days. You getting too good for us?

It is good to see you, Elex. I brought you a gift.

Aw, and here I am giving you a hard time. Can I see it?

All right, here we go! I love presents!

Oh come on, don't keep me waiting!

*Rustle rustle*

(This is my first gift... Why do I feel so nervous?)

...

...

Uh...\rWell, ain't that something?

Do you like it?

...\r...\rCan I just...

Yes?

Just understand, I'm telling you this for the future of your social life... I CAN'T STAND BOOKS WITHOUT ILLUSTRATIONS!

What?!

It was nice to get a gift... but I can't read this to the preschoolers...

Come on, don't give me the stink eye. I appreciate the thought...
