The faster we get back, the sooner you'll be able to lay down and get some proper rest. Now don't make things more difficult for me, please. Weren't you just apologizing earlier? I'll accept directions to your studio and your cooperation as tokens of your sincerity, I don't believe those things are too unreasonable to ask of an injured old man?

Now is he going to keep an eye on the road, or is he going to let her pass right by his studio once they actually get there? ...Not that she knows where he lives, no, but he will be forthcoming with directions as she's just politely requested, won't he?]
