[ eijun's still freaking out a little about the fact that there's a tail there (how did he not notice this when he was putting on his pants) but he takes his opportunity to hide with pride, up until shinji's right there and looking, too. he yelps and puts his hands on his head, attempting to cover them.

the tips of the ears poke out through his tanned fingers, and now he can barely hear anything? awesome ] No!! [ he answers, and it's actually kind of true? eijun lets go of the ears and they spring back up into place cutely on the top of his head. ] I don't know--!? I just woke up and I was gonna for a run too, and then, they were there!!

[ he's gesturing the entire time this is happening, about a million miles an hour. ] And I thought, Eijun, maybe you're just still sleeping, so I pinched myself really hard and Shinji, they're stuck on my head!!
