Asuka's knees nearly buckled in shock. "Wh-wh-what did you just say?"
Shinji looked her in the eyes, his expression clear; he radiated a positively monolithic calm as he repeated himself. "I was here first, Asuka, so I get to use the shower first. Unless, of course, you'd like to share?" Somehow, he managed to make it sound like a polite and reasonable offer, rather than a blatant come-on.
Now her knees did buckle, and she braced herself on the wall, "Shinji, are you feeling OK?" Her mind was running faster that her EVA, but it wasn't actually going anywhere at the moment. Shinji was standing up to her? And suggesting they get naked together? Shinji never stood up to anyone, ever! But he was standing up to her! He never stood up to her! Ever! In programming terms, Asuka had hit an unresolved case, a set of conditions with no destination to jump to. She was not enjoying the sensation.
Before her eyes could roll back entirely, Shinji spoke up again. "Well, are you going to wait, or join me?" he asked, watching her for any sign of return to awareness; he gave it 30 seconds or so.
The question got added to the data in Asuka's mind, and she suddenly jumped to a conclusion: Shinji was *teasing* her! Huh, she didn't think he could bring himself to try that. Well, she'd call his bluff, see how he liked it when she upped the stakes. She straightened up, grinned nastily, "I'll join you," and nearly collapsed again when hes smiled and nodded, "Thank you. You know, you're very pretty; I'm looking forward to seeing you in the shower."
