[In the same way he did when they first met, he offers his arm for the taking.
There are about a dozen different ways this can go. Saul being Saul, he's already cycling through the possibilities, jumping a full five steps ahead before they're even out of the restaurant. He can't help it; this is what he does. Anticipates, predicts, prepares.
So he's a little quiet on their walk back, but that won't stop him from stealing glances over at her every so often. His gaze is a little more analytical and searching than one might expect, given the circumstances.
Never let it be said that he's predictable.
Eventually:]
You look really nice tonight, by the way.
[He still thinks she looks ridiculous, but it's a ridiculousness he's getting used to.
And maybe kind of likes, a little, if the boyish way he offers up that compliment is any indication.
