Arthurian Traditions (04/18)

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, class," Camulus grumbled. If one were looking closely at his kilt, one would notice that the hem looks decidedly ragged and chewed upon. This could be one of the reasons he's scowling. Then again, he's usually scowling.

"Uill, the last two classes were spent watching the film 'Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail'. And since you lot didn't have any thoughts about it, you're going to have to listen to me talk about it for a whole class."

Camulus went on to outline in depth how the structure of the movie mirrored the structure of the Mabinogian and other Arthurian tales with its random diversions and side stories. He talked about how the Knights Who Say Ni were similar to the numerous quests of Peredur and the eternal questing for the Holy Grail. The Black Knight and the Green Knight and the Beheading Game. Then how the endings were similar in that the stories didn't really end, just sort of . . . trailed off.

Yes, he spent the entire lesson talking very seriously about Monty Python.

[[Sorry for lack of class yesterday. It was my birthday and I had an exam and was busy busy.]]

Kawalsky raised his hand. He looked very serious as he waited to be called on. Maybe for once he was actually going to ask a proper question.

Camulus's eyebrow soared skyward. "Yes, Mr. Kawalsky?"

Kawalsky lowered his hand. "Can I go to the bathroom?"

"I wouldn't know," Camulus replied levelly. "You'll have to consult with your doctor."

Kawalsky did not smirk. He was definitely not having fun exchanging barbs with a Goa'uld. "Funny. Sir. School policy is for students to request permission from the teacher on duty in order to leave the classroom. Do I have your permission, sir?"

Yeah, so maybe he was trying a different tactic to screw with Camulus. He had to do something to pass the time.

Kawalsky was clearly up to something.

Camulus just didn't know what it was.

Yet.

"You do," he replied, nodding with his eyes slightly narrowed suspiciously.

Kawalsky calmly got up, leaving his books behind, and walked out the door.

He returned without incident a few minutes later.

Yeah, totally up to something, even if he himself didn't even know it yet.

Camulus's eyes flared as he watched him suspiciously, but didn't say anything.

When he got home, he was setting the security system to "puree".
