I love Beowulf. I mean this.

[This is a far easier subject than herself. Admitting to some passing education, after all, is surely scads more appropriate than delving into her own personhood too deeply.]

Quite the saga, in truth. The story of a hero of the Geats, who comes to aid Hrothgar, king of the Danes. He saves first the Danemarch, and then his own kingdom in Geatland. Three proper battles against horrific monsters, ripping arms from bodies, brothers-in-arms rushing to one another's side in the face of peril-- [Her shoulders lift, grin still chipper.] Quite the adventurous tale for being such a dull thing as a poem.
