( if he's learned anything during his Audentes, it's that relying on someone else doesn't make someone weaker. it makes them stronger. the Huntsman had existed as a lone wolf for a very long time, pushing away human interaction with both hands. as a sheriff he'd still kept his friendly distance, above and apart. Emma had shown him the positive influence of a partner, and he's only grown from the man who had asked her to be his deputy. he knows the benefits of opening his trust to his teammates.
offering a hand to a relative stranger isn't telling her that he finds her to be weak, or that she needs protecting. it's saying that they'll be stronger together.
they don't have any Easter decorations to throw, and Graham doesn't seem to understand why she wouldn't get half of what he said. he hadn't spoken in particularly ornate language, after all. ) They seem distracted by sound. We could try throwing something past them, see if they chase for it. ( he takes care to talk slower this time, but jury is out on if it made him sound less "Swedish". )
