[Like Whelk's gazing wasn't lost on Kunimi, Kunimi's blushing isn't lost on Whelk. It's an extremely endearing image, the realization of which again makes Whelk feel more than a little uncomfortable. Even so, the small smile on his face endures.]
In Henrietta? [Whelk's accent is more present on the name of the town than it's ever been. It's a hard word to say without letting the last three syllables roll off the tongue all at once. He looks amused when he leans in over the table and says in a low voice:] Nowhere we won't be assaulted by overly-friendly teenage boys.
[He leans back then and raises his eyebrows just a bit. Kunimi is asking to see him again, or maybe even to continue spending time together after they leave Harry's. It can't be any later than 11:00am now. So Whelk plays a card that will place them together in the evening. What they do between these two periods will be inconsequential. He just wants to make sure that Kunimi will have to stick around for as long as possible.]
There's a bar downtown that has dreadful country karaoke on Saturdays. Truly Henrietta's finest in the flesh. [He sounds dryly sarcastic, though his expression remains amused.] You have to witness firsthand at least once.
Don't worry. The drinks are strong enough to get you most of the way through the secondhand embarrassment.
