"Yes! From the mythology of the titan who carries the world on his shoulders, I'm familiar!" Atlas moved some papers out of the chair next to them and moved books out of the way. "Would you like to sit?"
Calum seemed pleased. Despite his rather large appearance Calum loved reading, if he hadn't become a knight for the crown, he would have become a scholar. He nods and settles down, "Thank you. I rather enjoy Greek mythology. It's beautiful in some aspects, but also dark in others. I consider most stories to hold morals and ideas." He chuckles a little bit.
Atlas nodded enthusiastically. "I agree, I did a paper about Odysseus earlier, I focused mainly on the mental state of him and his crew instead of the morals though." They laughed sheepishly, they really liked psychology.
He listened intently. "That's really impressive! I have to admit, understanding the human mind is a very complicated thing, it's so complex and yet so intriguing. May I read your paper? Or at least understand what you said?" He asks curiously. The mind had always caught his attention.
Atlas's face went panicked for a moment, they didn't really let anyone look at their papers. But it's a good opportunity for a friend? Their brain supplied. "I-uh sure. It's in my rooms so we can find it later?"
Calum was gentle and warm, he just had a soothing presence to him. He had this feeling around him that made people want to open up and talk about themselves. He smiled and nods. "Of course! That sounds wonderful. I'd love to learn more."
(Calum is like the soft boy aesthetic if it was human and Atlas is just dark academia with anxiety)
(Oop. You're right lol)
