Any (please no SPN), any + any, CHaracter A is talking about *historic event they witnessed* and Character B had NO IDEA that A was That Old

Bonus for immortallity/longevity of character A

Highlander, Methos + Amanda

If there was one thing, Methos enjoyed about this more modern age, it was the ability to enjoy literature. Being able to browse a story instead of waiting for a traveling teller was a wonderful ability. And being able to choose the language, an even more wonderful treat.

“Did you find something interesting?” The coy voice of fellow Immortal, Amanda Darieux, came from behind him and Methos looked over his shoulder. “What do you have?”

“A copy of The Odyssey.” Methos held it out for her inspection. “In the original Greek.”

Amanda made a moue of displeasure. “Well, that’s disappointing.” She draped herself against him, ignoring the sniff of disapproval from the women standing not too far from them. “I can’t read Greek.”

“I can.” He took the book back, flipping through the pages, and frowning as he got to a passage. “And that’s not what happened!” Methos’s voice rose in outrage, drawing the attention of the few patrons in the shop.

Thank you!

Aw I'm sorry you don't know Highlander! I love it especially Methos. He's sarcastic and brilliant. (And played by a fabulous Welsh actor.) Glad you enjoyed it anyway!

(I feel like I've done that before... filled it with a fandom you didn't know.)

I want to get into it, I must see if my local shop has it on DVD :)

(There are many fandoms I know nothing about - I'm always happy to see something new, and I've got into fandoms from people filling my prompts with new-to-me fandoms :D it's why I prompt so many any/author's choice prompts!)

Kewl. I hope it works out. When I was visiting a friend, she pulled out her DVDs and we watched a ton of episodes, but we cherrypicked.

Ooooh awesome. Well, I'm glad I could help! I have a lot of fandoms and I kinda troll these for ones I don't necessarily write it or want to write in, but just want to dip my toe into. (I've got a Push one I need to finish... just got sidetracked with the end of vacation and moving and my kitty passing away and accidentally starting a new job.)
