Is there anything else worth knowing? [ no, really, is there? she gestures vaguely at the movie. ] Because I have yet to be convinced.

[notaccurate]

[Okay, point. That KFC movie is garbage.]

They could have at least provided a library here. Surely that would be better than this.

[callmemeg]

There's some literature between the cushions, if you dig a little.

[ meg throws a piece of popcorn at the tv. did she have that before? she does now. ]

But if you're looking for Sophocles, I think you'll be at it for a while.

[notaccurate]

What a pity, I was really hoping to find out what happened to that Ajax fellow.

[He'll plop down on a nearby seat. If they're going to talk, he might as well relax a bit.]

[callmemeg]

I wouldn't want to spoil it for you, but you know how those things go. Greek tragedies. They always end badly.

[notaccurate]

Of course. The Greeks and their tragedies. You rarely hear about the comedies.

[callmemeg]

What can I say? Not everyone has Thalia’s sense of humor.

...You know, it’s funny. I hadn’t pegged anyone here as a patron of the arts. They all seemed too busy with the - [ wrinkles! her nose! ] - cheese whiz to care about much else.

[notaccurate]

They're uncultured swines who don't know what they're missing. The classics are classic for a reason. My only regret is that I cannot read them in their original language.

[callmemeg]

[ that actually gets her to laugh. ]

Tell you what - you find the texts, and I'll read them for you. Win-win, right?

[notaccurate]

I might end up having to learn an eighth language here if that's the case.

[He doesn't know the limits of his own mind, but he hasn't hit it yet.]

[callmemeg]

[ snort. ]

Careful, now. Hubris can be a fatal flaw.

[notaccurate]

It can be, but I would say 'can speak multiple languages' is a far cry from the kinds of hubris that usually get people killed.

[callmemeg]

If there's anything to take from those stories, it's that one kind of hubris can lead to others. It's a slippery slope.

[ she pops a piece of popcorn into her mouth, and offers the bowl to luca. ]

Lucky for you, we're in the right place to embrace all of that.

[notaccurate]

I'll be sure to lord my language skills over everyone.

[Then he says a sentence in Latin. Does Meg know Latin?]

[callmemeg]

[ no! she gives him a flat, unimpressed look! ]

Do I look Roman to you?

[notaccurate]

No, you look Greek, but I don't know Greek.

[callmemeg]

[ she says something in greek, out of spite ]

[notaccurate]

Right back at you.

[callmemeg]

Oh? Well, thanks for the compliment, Achilles. Really, I needed to hear that today.
