Quite chilly, quite close, but not something Shinji's going to complain about. It sends a little shiver down his spine, but that comes as something of a relief for obvious reasons, and he's not looking to overthink things like that right now. Feels good, that's what's important. No thoughts, head empty, just temperatures balancing out.

"I'm always going to try and find you." He had something particular in mind for today, so even if that meant hunting him down with a phone call, he was going to look, but... even past that. Something about the way he said that stirs up a brief memory, a smaller voice saying, 'Nobody's gonna look for me, so it doesn't matter'. His hold on Kai tightens a bit at the thought. "Even if you don't make it easy by just being on the couch."
