Camulus!Orlin comes twirling in. Across his chest is written,

A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And underneath that in smaller letters I know nothing.

He looks highly amused and begins his lecture.

"All right, I believe we are covering the Fenion Cycle. Yes we are indeed." He says this as he consults his notes.

This particular story is called Tóraigheacht Dhiarmada agus Ghráinne or the usual English title – "The Pursuit of Díarmait and Gráinne"

It was a very popular Irish romance of a love triangle that had most likely influenced the medieval romance of Tristan and Isolde of the 12th century.

So basically like every trashy romance novel now written for your intrest and perusal. I don't want to know which ones of you actually read them, but they are trash.

Now, to continue. There was a reference to this tale in the late 12th century manuscript known as the Book of Leinster, suggesting the original tale was composed around 1100, the surviving text we have of The Pursuit of Díarmait and Gráinne was written no earlier than the 17th century."

Camulus!Orlin shakes his head. These notes are so wrong. And so hard to read. The real Camulus should learn to write neater.

"Let me summarize this. There is a love triangle. It's going to turn bad because they always do, That's my lowly wisdom, please heed it. Phoebe, I need to talk to you."

Macbeth is secretly quite thrilled with this giant sticker. He is pretty sure that it would cover his face, so he doesn't slap this one on his cheek.

After some consideration, he proudly plasters this one onto his chest.
Only a true king deserved to wear a smiley-face sticker as prominent as this one!
He was all about the regal poise, yo.

Now, Macbeth was never really a sucker for shinies. Power and glory were more his forte by far. However, he knew special when he saw it, and this particular sticker... well, it was special.

This particular sticker, with its crown and it's glimmering sheen, could only be intended for royalty, and Macbeth swore he would wear this one with pride everywhere he went.
He stuck this one to his forehead, making a mental note to save it for later.
He regally grinned his thanks to the teacher and straightened his posture. He certainly felt like a king right now.
