I am quite confident that he will explain it to me one day, perhaps in France in front of a beer this summer. I am preparing the grass (mostly weeds actually) and the flowers (these are neat) and the outside wood-table (this one is perfect now) so that the environnement is good for talking of such things.
I have no trouble imagining the scene except for one jarring detail -- beer?!? A conversation over a wooden table in a French pastoral setting may include vin ordinaire, sure; un petit café, certainly; but beer is all wrong for that mise en scène.
Please correct this detail in your final draft.
depends of the hour...
during lunch, that would be rose wine After lunch, café during dinner, when it is already dark, red wine
Before lunch or dinner, in summer, I would rather choose a pastis with a bit of sirop d'orgeat. And ice. Right, I lived in Marseille ;-)
But in the afternoon... a beer, or even a little pcb is nice...
After dinner, strong alcoohol, but usually, by then... I am cooked.
note...pcb stands for picon citron bière... picon is a traditional mixture of plants. When there is only regular beer left in the fridge, that is a good solution...
