[He finally steps forward, reaching forward an arm - but it seems he's actually offering his sleeve.]
I don't have a handkerchief to wipe your tears with...but you can use my coat. I don't mind at all. [And a light shake of his head, his smile reassuring.] And don't worry. I'm here to help as a brilliant detective. To stand in the way of justice simply isn't part of the job.
[ - the offer gets her to pause, and she shakes her head immediately, hand falling from her face now. her face is hardly anything pretty, with scattered tear tracks that she didn't get around to wiping, face flushed twice over now.]
I don't need that.

she shakes her head - and sighs.]
