blood running through my veins

Kaworu is aware of the feel of life, but he does not open his eyes because of it. He is aware of the familiar smells, antiseptic and and disinfectants. He is aware of his own breathing, which he keeps slow and low, in case this is a place that is not friendly to Tabris. (All places are friendly to Kaworu Nagisa. That was just the way things worked.)
He has a feeling he ought to be dead. He's unsure of why - if he tries to catch the memories, they flow through his fingers like sand, little hints and clues that could never be puzzled out in such a way. All Kaworu remembers last is the First being reported as alive again. Hah, maybe NERV was in the practice of killing off excess Childrens.
Well, you won't learn anything if you don't go back to the world, will you?
Honestly, why did they all need an incessant voice at the back of their head, telling them what it thinks they should do? But he expels his air normally now, opens his eyes. He has no idea what he will find, but at least Kaworu can take comfort in the fact that it will be interesting.

"Have you been waiting long?"
He may have to scold himself for that!

For one, Kaworu wasn't supposed to wake up before him.
"Just a little tired... How are you feeling?" Why does he have to sound so awkward?

But he takes a smug satisfaction in the fact it took Shinji that long to move his hand.

No one really told me anything. Rei's been hospitalized too..." Here, a tiny bit of guilt stabs him. "I should probably go see how she is later. But..." His father is probably already there.

Good observation, Holmes.
