Permission to join your table? I won't disturb your reading experience, in fact I brought my own book which I started to read a few days ago. It's a collection of Greek myths – hard to read even after being translated into a modern writing style, yet offering some rather valuable insight into the past and how ancient cultures faced near identical human issues we may (or may not) come across ourselves today.
~bartender, the usual but with less honey and more lemon. I'm no longer allowed to consume high amounts of sugars and sweets.
Oh, I was so immersed in um, wrestling with this beast of a book (which is now gnawing at my sleeve as I look across the table) that I didn't notice someone sit by me.
And reading ancient Greek stories, no less. I am quite unfamiliar with Greek mythology, though it really looks interesting, maybe we can trade books, when you are finished? I have here, uh, let's see... I have one by Iamblichus, that's Greek, Hellenistic, but still Greek ;) Don't worry, this one doesn't bite.... as much as the others.
