And where the one in Kai's hands belongs, apparently, is over Shinji's head as he steps out of the shower. "Oh-!" And, mercifully, unhindered by any chocolate, whatever ruffle is going on here is nice and smooth. "Mmm, yeah, for the most part."

He hasn't forgotten that slip, but he's not going to call direct attention to it. It will just be there, sitting in his mind as something to be paying attention to. Gotta be careful with that noggin, Kai.
