Too long, I think. And I still need to buy a cello so I can hear you play.

[and also so you can play it for the play. that is also important. but he mostly just wants a private concert.]

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[He still feels a little unsure about letting Kaworu pay for something like that, but he can't bring himself to argue knowing that it is needed for the play. His smile fades bit, though his tone remains mostly unchanged.]

Is... there anything I can do to help you get one? [Part of going on missions is getting paid, right? That... could possibly be an option.]

[diedforyoursins]

I have enough saved up that it should not require much more. But I would be grateful if you would like to help somehow.

[it'd be less of a present that way, but doing stuff together is nice too.]

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[He's pretty okay with that, and his mood lifts a bit once more when Kaworu doesn't seem opposed to the offer.]

I'm always happy to help you out, if I can.

[diedforyoursins]

Were you interested in finding a job here?

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Possibly. I'm not sure how much I'd really be good for, though. [A little light-hearted self-deprication is always in good taste, right? Besides that, the only work offer that had caught his interest well enough to merit consideration was S.E.E.S. But, being volunteer based, it didn't exactly help with the particular goal of helping pay for something.]

lateness because i suck, wow i can't juggle multiple games for my life ._.

[diedforyoursins]

You would do well at whatever you choose to do, I think.

[no shinji no self-deprecation you are precious and beautiful and you should appreciate yourself!]

/paps shhh no you do not suck

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[It's difficult for him to muster up the desire to argue that point, for while it's difficult to believe in himself quite that much, Kaworu's vote of confidence is always greatly appreciated. He mutters a soft,] Thank you, [Before falling back into silence in order to listen to a little more of the other's music.]

[diedforyoursins]

[he doesn't stop playing, but he shoots shinji a slight smile as he changes the subject.]

Your birthday is in less than a week, correct?

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[He isn't even going to question how Kaworu knows that, but it comes as a surprise as he didn't entirely realize it would be coming up so soon.]

Ah, that's right.

[diedforyoursins]

[once again, blame SEELE.]

We should do something in celebration.

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[Always blame SEELE.]

We don't have to, it really isn't that big of a deal. [He does seem a little warm to the idea, though.]

[diedforyoursins]

We do not have to. But I would like to celebrate the fact that you exist.

[hedgehogsdilemma]

{And here he was doing so well at not getting flustered up until that point.]

I... wouldn't mind, I guess. I'd be okay with just spending some time with you, though.

[diedforyoursins]

[gosh you are so precious.]

No one else? I am sure there are others who would want to wish you a happy birthday.

[takuto, yako, mello, hell maybe even near could be socially-competent enough for a few minutes...]

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[A bunch of people congratulating him sounds oddly familiar kind of uncomfortable.]

Like I said, it... really isn't that big of a deal to me.

[diedforyoursins]

If you are sure...

[he'll see about that.]

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[Was that a slightly ominous tone in his voice...? Shinji will just disregard that thought, for now.]

I am sure. [His focus shifts away for a moment, still a little flustered, but he eventually lets his curiosity get the better of him.] ... Did you have something in mind?

[diedforyoursins]

[only if you find the idea of other people wishing you a happy birthday "ominous".]

We could pick you out a cello. I have enough money by now.

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[Possibly.]

Are... you sure? [Is he even allowed to try and protest against it if it's supposed to be for his birthday? Social norms are hard.]

[diedforyoursins]

Of course. This is just as much a present for myself as it is for you. Truthfully, I am being rather selfish.

[hedgehogsdilemma]

That's... actually kind of comforting to hear.

[He thinks Kaworu should be treating himself to nice things, too!]
