It makes sense that when Emerald lifts Torchwick's lighter out of his front pocket even though she never went near him, then she used her power of illusion to get it, and Cinder and Mercury didn't let on.

What if...

Cinder never actually touched Torchwick's face.

That thought has me pretty damn amused.

Maybe that's why Cinder actually loses her smile, Emerald's got her hands in Torchwick's breast pocket.
