blood running through my veins

[creationofwill]

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.

"Hmm," Kaworu ponders, humming just a little. "This from the boy that had been in such a hurry to always leave my presence before?

Tell me, do I still have all my parts? At least the important ones.I want to use those."

That was before, but Kaworu has already moved on to another topic before Shinji can really think about it.

"Important ones?" He pauses. "I don't think anything is missing..." He glances towards the door. Should he go ask someone if anything was really wrong? (Oh, dramatic irony.)

Shinji is acting off, it seems, and Kaworu is no idiot. He can hazard a few guesses as to why, but he'd rather hear it than question it.

"Something is wrong with you." Good observation, Holmes.
