So Shinji's... not necessarily angry, as such, but he wouldn't say he's exactly pleased either. In any case, he's been stewing on some pretty serious what the hell WAS that since the dungeon.

Since before that, if you want to include a certain robot mouse pog's escapades.

Either way, he wasn't necessarily expecting it to amount to anything, and so finding himself in what has to be another of those conversation space things actually does throw him for a loop long enough to have a good look at the place. (Of course the picture of him's one of him cooking. Of course it is. At least it's not the disaster he ran into when he tried cooking for Lupa.)

...Emperor Emperor's got good taste in coffee, from the smell of it. Shinji'll give him that much.
