We can try to talk to him, tell him it's to try and prove her innocence. I can't guarantee anything, but he listens to us, sometimes.

[ to the taps... responding with "you're welcome" or something would feel kind of terrible right now, so he just. nods. ]

Honestly, though, my guess is that she'll be a target next week, and he won't allow it based on that alone. But we won't know unless we try.
