Lunch with..Rhymes-with-Lunch

Heh. I will forgive my partner for her less-than-charitable remarks about my table manners - can I help it if I really like spaghetti carbonara and sometimes a fork just slows you down? - because the look on her face when our guest arrived? Priceless.
I just enjoyed watching her wriggle, especially when I got him started on the story behind his big campaign, with the vampire syndicate and their shapeshifter minions inflitrating the neutral human kindgom, while the elven empire struggles with their missing prince and the rule of the mad mourning widowed warlock...
He geeked out, she glazed over, but THEN he started talking about all the historical stuff he based it on, with the English civil wars, the reformation in Europe and a war between the Masons and the Merovingians...whoa. She was into it, they had a nice conversation - and I took notes. Hah! I'm gonna hit the library, and my character can finally make his move on the throne!

Help me, I'm a nerd.
