Hopefully, I can get that fixed sometime soon."
He then lowered his hand, sliding them into his pant pockets for the time being. "If you want, we can move to somewhere a little more private, likely an alleyway--" Neos stopped himself before looking around, remembering how he had to learn about the world at large on his own, how he had to learn many 'common' human terms to be able to follow most conversations. "...sorry, the spaces between these buildings...before we can speak and ask more freely."
He then nodded before saying, "I've also been pretending to be who I currently am for almost a quarter of a century, so let me know if I lose you while talking, alright?"
