Their thoughts are moving very much along the same lines, and he finds himself making a mental list of the myriad things she needs to learn. Automatic transmission. Microwave ovens. ATMs... These pieces of technology have evolved gradually over the years, for him. He can't even remember the specific dates when some of them became a part of daily life. It's a struggle to work out what she is and isn't familiar with, even for him.
As if reading her thoughts, and with The Shadow one can never be quite sure that isn't the case, he gives a wheezing sigh and shakes his head. "I know it's too much too fast." He sips his tea and makes a further effort to bury the irritation that has been building for days. "I need to get out of the apartment. I don't think I realized until tonight how much it's driving me mad. I don't care if I have to pretend to be a feeble old man, I need an outing. If you're free tomorrow, I can give you some kind of whirlwind tour and lesson, and I'll arrange a meeting for you. Ms. Menz." He manages the faintest of smirks at that. Simply thinking of getting outside relieves some of the pressure of his frustration.
