So, as I was watching this scene, I noticed something: Rorschach doesn't pull away. In fact, Dan pulls away first, and Rorschach doesn't let go. Rorschach, who reacts with knee-jerk violence to most things and has lost trust in the vast majority of the world, who hates being touched, doesn't let go. Doesn't want to let go. Dan is the only person he's truly comfortable touching, even in such a minor way. He's the only one he trusts like that.
