As much as Steve might have preferred to ease the other man into the strangeness of the hotel, the truth was that information continued to be the best weapon they had against the dangers that lurked behind some of the doors. Even if he had thought Sam would've been the type to appreciate being handled with kid gloves, it was safer and better for everyone involved if the mysteries and surprises were kept to a minimum.
Even as he huffed a laugh, dropping his chin to his chest as he stabbed a bite of egg before looking up at the man across from him. "Delicate '40s sensibilities, huh?" Wearing an expression that was blatantly unimpressed, for all the fact that he had taken to being amused at the continued expectation of him being shocked over the way the modern world was. "First off, I may have been raised by nuns, but I grew up in the '20s and '30s, not the '40s." Despite being separated by decades and experience on both sides of that 70 year divide, he could not help but think of the hours spent standing in soup and bread lines in the cold. Of going hungry too often in his teenaged years and way that hunger had never completely left him. "I toured with chorus girls for awhile and then went to war with the Howling Commandoes, you can't really think sex, filthy jokes and cursing is supposed to shock me, do you?"
"I meant that there's a door around here that'll change you to male to female and vice versa." He grinned to show that he was taking it with a sense of humor, adding, "I have it on good authority that I made one fine looking dame."
