'That's great, but... But...'
He finally stops looking at the floor and looks up when he hears Allen move.
Shinji, the table is NOT booby-trapped. Now come over here. Before warily staring, he makes careful steps forward to join Allen.
As much as Kaworu was someone Shinji enjoyed spending time with despite the amount of time they had, as much as that this was someone that Shinji thought he was never going to see again (he STILL feels like he shouldn't be seeing him again, honestly), it is no promise that he will go out and look for him. It feels... easier to stay put, right now. Running away doesn't seem so bad in that situation.
That is why he does not ask or will bother asking Allen of his whereabouts. But he does have another question in mind. ]
What is he to you? A friend... or...? [Or an enemy? A slight concern crossed Shinji's mind. He doubts that an enemy would be offering you sweets like this, but you never know...]
