It looked like the smudge was gone. Without thinking, Atom gives him a thumbs up to signal that he got it all.
Just as soon as he makes the gesture, he realizes that he's assuming thumbs up means the same thing in this world when it could be something else. His smile goes crooked with self-consciousness, and he awkwardly takes his thumbs up and puts it on top of his head as if he's just being goofy now, although the initial gesture was probably unmistakable. Maybe he should just go with the arm circle over the head next time...
