Purpose

Form-fitting handwear serving as sartorial accessory and protection from cold; in this context used as a courtesy object offered between characters.

Significance

Functions as a small-but-telling social prop that facilitates flirtation and civility: the offer and C.J.'s polite refusal reveal power dynamics, personal boundaries, and the staff's need to keep private tone under public pressure.

Deflection on the Supreme Court Steps

Before: In Danny's possession; worn or held as he speaks to C.J.

After: Remains with Danny after C.J. declines the offer; unused as a prop beyond the verbal beat.

Before: In Danny's possession (worn or held), used as a casual, physical prompt to the conversation.
