[A glance down at those legs. Last he checked his name wasn't Eve and they're lacking the rather critical garden, but apparently it's going to be that kind of night. Alright then.]
No because then I'd have to sue someone for manuscript theft. That's my next book. Save the world, be cool, don't be uncool; your typical power fantasy cliches.
[Leaning back he rests his plate on Rosalind's legs. She probably shouldn't get up in any hurry.]
The problem is —I'm far more interested in the world than the main character. A place where spies break in to tell you you're not playing by the secret superhero club rules? Classic. Wealthy male protagonist picks up a new career choice, enters a sub-culture world and makes good? The 1950s are banging on my door asking where the girl-next-door girlfriend is.
Still working on the supporting cast. I need a female teammate-slash-mentor. Any names you're fond of? Peggysue or variations thereof are instantly rejected, so you know.
[It doesn't take a genius to make the connection between his newest story and his recent memories, but she supposes inspiration has to come from everywhere. At least this way he knows for certain he's being absolutely original.]
Well . . . if she's a mentor, I suppose my inclination would be an older name. Julia, or . . . Anna . . .
[Mm. That name sticks out for some reason, but Rosalind ignores it.]

Tell me more about her first.
