[ The enthusiasm is definitely something. So is the way she seems to seamlessly jump from defensive, to sheepish to now this. ...Whatever this is. Enthusiastically optimistic? When was the last time he'd interacted with someone so high energy?
As for her expressing it, he doesn't have any strong feelings against it. Sure he briefly shuts his eyes, but it isn't out of irritation it's just because it had been a little close to his ear and well, he just hadn't been expecting it, okay? If there's anything he might have any kind of strong feeling towards it's the light touch on his shoulder. His shoulders tense at her touch but he doesn't brush it off, having already realized that this is likely just the person she is and outside of this interaction it's unlikely he'll interact with her again.
Briefly his gaze flickers down to those ankle-breaking heels before back to his manual. As long as she doesn't hug him this is probably fine. And it's also probably fine that he tells her his name. He'd weighed the options of coming up with an alias. This place screamed the kind of place it would be easy to get a hold of fake papers but he had ultimately decided it would be more trouble than it would be worth. Especially when Yom Crook already, somehow, had his name in his ledger. ]
