Squeaking a little in surprise as Kai calls out, Shinji squeezes in even closer to the other boy. That! Is bold of you! Too bold!! He hadn't wanted to draw the attention of the robots, even if they probably have the most answers out of anyone here, but still! He's been so, so wary of them!!

The robots, on the other hand, are not so wary of a pair of fleshy little kids - on the contrary! Offworlders sharing contact! Helping heal the world! Wow! It would be wild of them to not answer that call! How can they help you, tiny humans?
