Akechi's shivering has slowed considerably, but he still feels like his mind is operating at half capacity - which is an annoying thing to feel when his thoughts are still racing. He's already figured out he's not home, but Shido has been here a few months? And might have even been somewhere else between home and here? Which means...
Akechi's doesn't know, but he does know it doesn't account for Shido acting like a half decent human being for once in his life. The possibility of a Change of Heart isn't lost on him - that's what the Phantom Thieves' plan, after all - but he thought it would involve more emotional anguish, even months later. And as much as he believes Joker would keep his promise, he doesn't want to make assumptions.
He probably does need to dry off - the snow that wasn't already melted has succumbed to the shop's warm interior and is now soaking into his clothing in earnest - but the implication behind Shido's words earns him a deeply unimpressed look.
