I think he'd understand that you wouldn't come to him and ask, unless it was important. If it's important enough to interrupt his party, it's serious. You're serious. You're not usually frivolous.

[Except for maybe the Joan of Arc stuff, but she turns into a six foot tall axe-wielding elf in the Dream Sphere, so Sam feels as if she has no room to throw stones from her own glass house. It's effective, and Jeannette is nice!]

Besides, you might bring him down a little, but ruin it? I don't know if you could. But you're making it sound like it's kinda private, so I'm not trying to shove my nose where it doesn't belong, you know?
