Evidently Ghoul's still feeling vindictive. He picks up his butter knife, smacking it broadside across Party's knuckles as soon as his hand comes back in to reaching distance. Not to hurt him- just to be annoying and messy, since the knife is all syrupy and gross.

He keeps his eyes averted when he answers, "Yeah, that area, actually." If Party'd only been in the area for a short while, he probably doesn't know the whole situation there. No need to spill the beans if it's not necessary.
