EMIL KINDELL: CAN I TOUCH YOU? IS THAT ALRIGHT? 'a man askin' for permission? that's a first,' the joke falls from her tongue with a searing undertone, eyes moving to meet emil's with skepticism. he hasn't done anything to make clarice distrust him. in fact, emil has been better to her than most others in the bureau, despite how much the two agents bickered and seemed as if they couldn't stand each other. that wasn't true, of course, but clarice was too proud to have given him that big a chance, thus far. now, he looks sincere. he wouldn't mind if she said no. that might even be what he's expecting. so clarice leans back in her seat, hands on the table between them. 'guess so. should i expect anything when you do it?' @klarsynt.
