Curious little Beastie

I’m sure it will look much better when I have some of my work hung on the walls. Wonderful. So how did you come to be in your field?

[gives Olga the cup she only put sugar in before leaning against her desk with her own cup in her hands.] Well, ever since I was a little girl I've always loved mythology. The idea of eras believing in completely different ethics than what we do now fascinated me. Plus you will always learn something new about mythology. Latin, on the other hand, came from when I was in the university. I took it out of curiosity and fell in love. It's a wonderful language once you learn how to work with it. 

Entomology in general, but body decomposition is my favorite aspect. No, please do go on. It sounds quite fascinating. Perhaps we could sit for a moment and you can tell me more.

Oh, dear you must be joking. I wouldn't even know where to begin. But we could sit out here or my office is just a few floors up.

Oh, quite the contrary, I love the chaos. I specialize in entomology. And yourself?

[smiles] How perfect. Entomology? How fascinating. Is it for body decomposition or just in general? Ah, Latin and mythology for myself. Though with mythology, I specialize in European here so the usual Greek, Roman, and Norse. I do know just about most other mythologies around the world. Now, you must stop me or I will go on forever.

What a lovely name. Professor Olga Bulgria.

Oh, I know, but thank you. It's certainly a pleasure meeting someone who isn't complaining about this darling turn of events. What is it that you teach?

[Sighs dramatically] Yes, perhaps something … better next time. Who did you say you were again?

Madame Myra Lemures. 

Well, I can see that. [She grins wickedly] Do it again.

[chuckles] Oh no, dear, surprises come best underprepared.
