Uncompromisingly stood up; headache moved in to stay.
"Are you a particle physicist?"
"Yes."
And so on - all woes forgotten, headache marginalised for a while, he was even interested in youth policy. The only thing missing was the Higgs boson.
And later, lost on my way in the dark to my host's home, I got a ride in a 2CV. What a way for things to work out.

Successfully intriguing - well done!
Now, who is he, why were you staying with him and what colour was the 2CV?
My host was the UNFPA technical adviser on sexuality, adolescent development and youth (or something), and I was staying with him because a) he was kind enough to have me b) we (i) enjoy one another's (his) company c) we had work to do d) it meant i could save a little money (given for accommodation) in lieu of being paid for the work i was doing for the fund.
This is a different person from the particle physicist - he the latter is my new want-to-be. Next stop, OU BSc Physics.
The 2CV was green and white, and the roof went back from the front across its whole width. Et j'avais assez beaucoup de francais pour faire une jolie conversation avec le chauffeur.
