A BLINK, EMILY IS TAKEN aback, a sort of pout on her dark painted lips ( it was the only color that would cover the blue ), and she supposes he has a point : in this masquerade plan of a living being, she had planned her whole out fit from scalp to toe, and yet it seems she's forgotten that alive humans can smell. a simple slip up, but it still makes her stop and realize how LONG she's been dead, doesn't it ? that this is not her world anymore, it had not been for a long time, had it ? " oh, yes. you see - i just came back from a funeral home ... for a tour, you see ! they were showing us how they prepare the dead for burial. " nailed it, he won't know anything different !
he didn't mean to say the phrase aloud-- or have her think it was DIRECTED toward her. it was more like a general observation. and while he wasn't wrong-- there was a scent that did NOT belong. he also did not have very much hands-on experience with the dead to know what smell they emitted. but from the movies and games he's played, he could only imagine it probably smelt like THIS. whatever this was. "oh that's pretty cool-- i didn't know you were interested in.." in what? how could he phrase this properly? "in the dea-- deceased?" nailed it. "was it a new seasonal tour? i didn't think funeral homes did.. tours like that."
