"Good. I am glad we're in agreement." This is good. A walk will be good; it will get him up and moving and out of this house, which he's realizing now is also weighing on him. What he needs is a change; fresh air, fresh environment, fresh face, fresh clothes.
"Hopefully Nell can survive a little while before we go out. I am going to change and shave, but I promise I will be quick about it," he says to Nell, reaching down to rub her ears.
He disappears down the hall and shaves, which he can do impeccably and in record time. As the beard disappears, he starts to look more like himself, and when he finishes and pats his face down, he feels a little more like himself, too. After a quick change of clothes he feels refreshed and ready for a walk, and he returns to the living room.
"Let's go," he says briskly, setting his hands on his hips.
