so that happened

A scene from the bus this morning:

ME: *finally starting Naomi Novik's Blood of Tyrants and very excited about amnesiac Laurence*
OLD GUY: *gets on bus, sits next to me*
ME: *reads page two*
OLD GUY: *suddenly* Is that a book about Jesus Christ?
ME: Uh...no. It's a book about dragons. And the Napoleonic Wars.
OLD GUY: What?
ME: Dragons.
OLD GUY: Oh.
*awkward silence*

Just...what.
