( the whale informs nami to head into the back room with him for that exchange of information. it's for her ears only. the moment zoro makes a move to follow along, he's stopped by two other fish types. he stares right back at them, expressionless for the most part, except his eyes tell a different story. like if looks could kill... but he doesn't make a move to push past, trusting nami can handle this. after all, she survived arlong. )
I'll wait for you by the bar. ( close enough for him to hear her if she gets into any trouble. zoro waits for some kind of a reassurance from nami first, needing to know she'll be fine doing this on her own before he's willing to step away and let them lead her to the back, past the red curtains into a smaller room where she'll be offered a drink and be told she has one opportunity to ask a single question, and that's it. if she wants more, she can try her hand with the shark who's always hungry for blood or maybe the catfish or perhaps another game of roulette. the whale will tell her he can sense her greed. )
