He's spent enough years back home and now in the City to recognise it; it was their bread-and-butter for a while, after all, the bright eyes and hitched breath and enthusiasm to see a real live superhero in the flesh.

And so instead of just smiling that bland, bland smile and letting her get on her way — no need for him to needle the bystanders — instead of all that, Luther actually takes a moment to flash a glint of dry humour back. "You sure you don't want my autograph?"
