there was a blink before the male adjusted his glasses with a small huff . `` roman , statistically speaking , your tone implies confusion rather than gratitude , which is slightly disappointing . `` he cleared his throat and gestured to the gift . `` it is a hand - bound , custom annotated heroic mythological compendium . I curated it myself . `` a small pause as he looked to see if the other was listening . `` it contains classical and modern heroic archetypes, dramatic monologues from public-domain epics, sword-fighting stances used in stage combat, and a subsection analyzing the narrative psychology behind why protagonists with your specific personality traits are statistically more likely to be admired . `` he folded his hands behind his back , trying very hard not to look hopeful . `` in summary : it is a personalized hero’s codex designed to support your dramatic creativity , self-esteem , and long-term character development .... I thought you might like it . I tried to be as creative as I could be with it ... but that's more of your thing . ``
