[He's never sure what he expects to see, but he expects to see something. Something that captures his own disgust and terror of Hell and reflects it back at him--maybe the way people look at a demon, because they know it's been there and they know Hell's transformed it into something sick.
Adam has what he sees as a keen sense for bullshit (or just the expectation for it), but he feels like he can believe her. And even knowing about the Cage, she can look him in the face and not be at a loss for words.
Maybe there is some kind of stock in what the time travellers say. Hope, in the strangest place.]
You're welcome?
[He makes an expression that's not quite a smile and not not a smile. Empty flattery wouldn't sit right on him, but she has the air of someone who calls it like she sees it, so someone's good opinion is still flattering on a certain level.]
You can come in if you want. If you want to sit down.
[The invitation is brand spanking new for him as far as getting friendly with Wonderland residents goes, but it seems like the right thing.]
