Ali could have just shoved the coat at him and slammed the door, but no. He's invited in. Why? To talk? Is there something to talk about? Ali closes the door behind him. Doesn't lock it. Okay. So, he should be leaving soon enough. They're not going to... get up to anything. Again. Probably. Not with an unlocked door.
Had the door been unlocked that first time? Could someone have walked in on them?
He takes a deep breath in and out before responding. He notes how much it smells like wine. His tone is usual; level and quiet. Unreadable.]
