Depends whether or not this is dialogue. Gregg didn't tell us that. Making the second half of the sentence a separate sentence is fine in dialogue because, as you rightly say, it's the way that people talk. I'd think carefully before using it in a descriptive passage because "A king, perhaps?" or "A bit of a king, perhaps?" is not a sentence; it doesn't contain a verb. Of course one can write using sentence fragments, but it should be done judiciously.
