[She pauses, partway through the motion of tucking her leg under her to push herself to her feet. It's not like everyone's in danger at the moment, and it's not like they really need a leader like this, either, huh? She really could just sleep all day.

No. That's a bad train of thought to follow. She shakes her head and leans in, just enough to bonk her head lightly against his shoulder before crawling the rest of the way out of her sleeping bag.]

I'm hungry too. Breakfast is definitely cold, but I'll find myself some lunch.

[He stays curled up where he is, but leans his head toward her when she bumps into him.]

I can make you something, [He pauses, realizing he's doing exactly what she was just a moment ago. They're both really bad at this, aren't they?]

[orphne]

[She looks at him, and she can't help it -- she huffs a quiet laugh through her nose. In some ways, important ways, they're different, but in others, they really are the same. At least this smile is a little more genuine.]

You really should go check on Goro instead. I bet there's lot of leftovers in the fridge I can eat.

[Of her own sweets if nothing else. After all, this is literally her house, so her food is all over the place.]

I'll wait until I'm less annoyed with him, or we'll just argue. [He offers quietly, returning the tired half-smile.]

[orphne]

You're better at that than I am, then. Waiting, I mean.

[She wants to see people now, she wants to talk to them and make sure they're doing well. Letting people take things at their own pace is so difficult for her. Again, she thinks about Shinji, but manages to hide her wince.]

So I guess if you're insisting on making me food, I won't stop you.
