What? ( okay. maybe that came out a little louder than necessary, but he's just a bit confused here. ) I just... I thought... You said. ( he'll take a breath, and then release. ) I am sorry. I just imagined you to be a much older gentleman. ( he gives steve a quick once over before raising his eyebrows slightly as he meets his gaze. ) Which clearly, you're not. ( burly and blond. that description was at least correct. ) Well, please. Come in.
And thank you so much for the pie. ( he'll just take that from steve and head over to the kitchen where he's prepared tea for them. ) I apologize I don't have a separate dining area. But do sit down. ( he'll pour them both some tea before setting two plates and two forks on the table for the pie. he's tempted to read steve's mind to figure out what's going on with him saying he was around in the forties and then showing up looking like he hasn't aged much at all for someone who's apparently from 2018. but he really shouldn't make a habit of reading people's minds all willy-nilly, as and when he likes. after all, he can always just ask first. that way, he won't mess up remembering what someone's told him and what he's found out via telepathy. that sort of thing can get confusing. )
