Third floor common room, Saturday evening

May 30, 2009 19:57

The week before, Leto had been given a DVD by professor Mitchell, which was supposed to clarify certain questions Leto had had regarding British comedy. He hadn't had the opportunity to watch this until now. So this evening Leto was seated on the couch in front of the TV, watching Dark Serpent, the frown on his face increasing.

Television drew Tony like flame drew moths. "Oh, cool, Dark Serpent!" he exclaimed, dropping down on the couch.

Oh no. Leto turned his head to look at Tony. "You are familiar with this?"

"Sure, it's a classic," Tony said.

future_sandworm May 30 2009, 19:07:03 UTC

"A classic of what?" Leto asked. "Professor Mitchell suggested this might explain British comedy." And no, it did not.

"I don't know about explaining, but it's a great example of it," Tony said.

"Perhaps it's an acquired taste," Leto replied dryly.

"Why, Leto, are you having trouble getting the jokes?" Tony asked.

future_sandworm May 30 2009, 19:30:36 UTC

"This is just... over elaborate insults and plain stupidity!" Leto exclaimed.

"You are learning about British comedy, then." Tony snickered at Next to me, Darling.

"That's it? But it's not particularly amusing." To his defense, Fremen culture wasn't big on comedy.

"Maybe not to you," Tony said. "What would you find funny?"

future_sandworm May 30 2009, 20:15:37 UTC

"I am aware that some find it funny, or it would not be called comedy." Leto decided to ignore the question, as he was not in the mood for another conversation where Tony ended up disgusted by Fremen culture.

"But why doesn't a leader try to assign duties to a soldier suitable to his skills? Instead of insulting him?"

wantstodirect May 30 2009, 20:42:43 UTC

"Why can't he do both?" Tony asked.

future_sandworm May 30 2009, 20:54:42 UTC

"Would that improve the situation? Would it make him a good leader?" Leto replied.

wantstodirect May 30 2009, 20:58:57 UTC

Tony shrugged. "It's just a TV show."

future_sandworm May 30 2009, 21:06:17 UTC

"What does that mean? Are you implying it shouldn't be taken seriously?"

Because that would make no sense to Leto.

[bedtime!]
