Yes. There is a bar several blocks from here that I like to frequent. Shall we? *offers her his arm*
*loops a hand through his arm again* Of course, sir. May I count on you to protect me from any uncouth men?
If that is the lady’s wish, then I would be remiss in my duty as a gentleman to not grant it. *starts walking*
I don’t think there’s likely to be any problem, really. Despite your so-firm opinion, I’m not like to attract any attention. *gives a self-deprecating laugh*
You lie. *smirks* If you’re with me, you’ll definitely attract attention.
Ahh, no. *smirks back* /You/ attract attention. I’ll be dismissed as some frantic hanger-on or some such. Or! More likely, someone much more interesting will catch your attention in there.
We’ll see. We’re here anyway, so *opens the door, and holds it for her* After you.
Thank you! *slips inside and hesitates at the volume and number of people* Do you … have a particular place you sit? God, it’s crowded.
