The Shadow was once very much the sort of reckless young man people expected to go early in some spectacular fashion. In a sense, he did, when he killed off his identity.
"The break is... a welcome one." He's tired, and under more strain than he likes to admit. Having Metody here is taking away precious time from pressing work, but he had also reached a point of desperately needing to shift his mind temporarily to something unrelated. This meeting over coffee is as much for his own sake as for his pseudo-agent's. "Your reports have been useful, even if the recent ones worried me."
