[ It's better than TV, really. The man goes through several stages of expression, from glancing down at Elio's awkward boner without commenting on it, Elio is counting his blessings currently, to looking around, looking up and saying, he's the devil, he draws out people's desires... Elio stares at him for a long, long time without saying anything, just frowning slightly and trying to puzzle it together in his head. Is he making fun of him? Why would he, why would he lie? Is he crazy, exhibit A and B and C suggest yes. Still, Elio can't shake what happened to the girl, what isn't happening to him and the crazy thing would be to believe him, but where would the devil go if not LA? Where else would the devil be?
If the devil existed. What would he look like? Slight stubble, tall, broad, tanned?
Elio meets the other man's eyes as his face lights up in some kind of childish glee and he's back to smiling widely, so Elio thinks dangerous again and gets a little harder. You're a suspect, the consultant realizes, and they both draw the same conclusion, he can do with Elio what he wants, can't he?
Nevertheless, Elio doesn't step back. He stands his ground. ]
I'm a suspect who doesn't believe in the Devil, will that be a problem?
[ There's no sarcasm to his tone, he's completely serious. ]
