You come here enough to catch flack then?

[She is amused by the ribbing he's gotten. She takes a sip of cider before she answers.]

I don't know, I've been working on figuring that bit out. But I'm a junior lecturer, which is why I've moved to London.

[He laughs a little.]

I do spend a lot of time here, but it's not always this rowdy.

[He nods at her explanation. It must be a lot to figure out.]

Do you have any talks scheduled? I'd love to attend one.

[aspolyhymnia]

From what I could hear, you don't often bring women here

[Which makes her chuckle. And it does feel like exactly the sort of teasing guys do.]

You could sit in on one of my Greek poetry classes. They're my favorite.

Well, can you blame me?

[The teasing is good natured, though. But it's true, this is the kind of spot Hob likes to keep to himself. He wouldn't invite just anyone here.]

I would like that.

[And he's sure he'd learn a thing or two.]

[aspolyhymnia]

I don't know I feel a little special.

[And she does feel like this sort of spot is beyond the place he would take a casual date.]

What do you do? Since capitalism consumes us all.

Well, you are acquainted with a friend of mine. I wouldn't want you to say you had a bad time.

[Hopefully, she's enjoying herself a bit.]

I teach history now. A bit on the nose, I know, but I enjoy it.

[aspolyhymnia]

Ah, you don't want me to report back that you're actually very boring?

[She teases. Stella doesn't exactly see the Dream Lord often.]

Do what you know? I'm creative writing and poetry, you're history. And we're the only people who realize just how ironic that actually is.
