[He lets himself nod before he motions to Shinji to head toward the office now. Being friendly with Shinji didn't come that difficultly; for someone with so little friends, Shintaro thinks he adjusted to having the younger kid in his everyday life rather smoothly. Perhaps it was because Shinji Ikari himself had such an obvious air of mistrust.

It was easier to be with someone who didn't seek his attention was much easier to keep around. They only had to share the air.]

You too. [He doesn't say he's counting on Shinji. He trusts the kid would shoot down anything that's behind him anyway, but saying it out loud might put some weird pressure on him and they didn't need that. A thanks after the threat is already taken care of is probably the best tool.]
