[substitutable]

Huh? Aah, no, you don't have to apologize.

Besides, who knows when... if they'll throw us into the Sahara or something?

[imusntrunaway]

I think they'd give us a fair warning before they do.

[substitutable]

Even if they give us a warning, you shouldn't underestimate my delicacy.

[imusntrunaway]

... that's not something to brag about.

[substitutable]

I'm not bragging. It's true.

[imusntrunaway]

You'll survive... it isn't that bad...

[substitutable]

You're used to it. [I haven't felt sun in two years, Shinji...]

Well, I guess I would. As long as I don't get dragged around everywhere like they did that day.

[imusntrunaway]

The missions are usually voluntary. [Except for the more recent ones but he's not going to bring that up.]

[substitutable]

Then that helps. I wouldn't be of much use during them, anyway.

[He leans on the counter, looking like he's thinking for a moment, before he raises a hand to stifle a yawn.]

[imusntrunaway]

[Shinji glances up at the yawn, then at his watch.

... did that much time pass?]

Thank you for the ice cream.

[substitutable]

You're welcome... [He's quick to start sounding sleepy and he almost rolls off the chair he was sitting on, reaching for the empty cartons. Maybe he plans on carrying it all the way down to his own trash...]

[imusntrunaway]

[Shinji notices and straightens up.] ... you can throw them away here.

[substitutable]

Huh? [He stifles a yawn.] You sure? I mean, I don't mind...

[imusntrunaway]

[That gets a polite smile and he reaches for the cartons now.] It's not a big deal. Here, I can...

[substitutable]

[He returns a polite smile, then.]

Thanks.
