[In HHB Edumund says, "this dark-faced lover of yours" which is tied up in all kinds of racism. But even setting that aside, and setting a side the "this {} of yours" I had a question.]
Also, is it particularly common to say, "Your [attribute] lover" instead of, you know, his name, or "That guy" or something?
"So you gonna marry your ginger lover?"
"I don't know, are you going to propose to your curly haired one?"
"Actually I was thinking that the one with the green eyes might be my best bet."
"Which one with the green eyes?"
"You know, my freckled concubine."
"I suppose that's not a bad match..."
"Look, I'll support whatever you decide for yourself, but I think your lover with the long fingers is way better than the red head."
"No love for the short one?"
"I mean, I guess the short one is ok, but if you're thinking of the short one, why not your pale faced lover?"
"If you're gonna go there I have to ask, why not your concubine with the heterochromia iridum?"
"She's great in a lot of ways, but honestly I'm not even sure why you went there. The arm-haired concubine outclasses her point for point."
And so forth.
