The thing that surprised her the most, was the force with which he shook... it was firm, and mildly rough. Her fingers traced over the calluses briefly, and it left her wondering what the man did for a living. Emily smiled, returning Dexter's strong grip with a firm squeeze of her own. She was used to being around men and working with them, their strength didn't scare her in the least. Rather, she enjoyed it.
After the shake, in which she had managed to get a sense of Dexter, she slipped her hand back in her pocket and initiated their walk. There were so many questions she'd like to ask him... but she was mindful of the fact that he was neither an informant nor a suspect, so perhaps she ought to have left her questioning skills at work.
Instead, she just enjoyed the view, which was something London had, no matter where you were. Though it didn't stop her from stealing glances at her company. His eyes drifted to their handshake, watching her fingers trance his calluses brought a slight smirk to his lips. It tickled a bit, which he vaguely enjoyed. He took not of her strong grip, rather liking that as well. He'd always connected a strong handshake with a strong woman and he supposed this time would be no different.
Dexter watched her take her hand back and followed after her as she began the walk. He was a bit lost for words. It was a rare moment for the man, as he was always known to be rather smooth with women. But after a moment of glancing around a bit and neither of them talking, he figured it was time for him to interject.
After a moment of thinking about what to say without sounding like a complete creep or something he managed to speak. "Ya live 'round here. Tha' mean you work 'round here too?"
