"Yeah, yeah," he said mildly, giving Shinji's hair an extra ruffle. Everyone knew what you were talking about, sir. Let him distract him with a boop of his finger on Shinji's nose, draping that towel down around his shoulders. "It'll be fine."

In fact he's just going to grab his own towel and assail his own head.
