Slip of the Tongue (Evangelion WIP)

“Guess you don't like your dad too much, huh?” Misato leaned back and sighed. “Looks like we've got that in common.”

The lift transporting the car suddenly gave a bit of a lurch and screeched to a halt, moments away from what looked to be daylight. Shinji looked around, but Misato just huffed impatiently.

“You know, for everything Tokyo 3 is supposed to stand for, its technology sure is crappy!” She looked like she was about to throw and absolute fit, but the rage in her eyes calmed and she chuckled to herself. “Heh, mentioning my father always makes my temper flare. Sorry about that. I wish I had the opportunity to go back and tell him how much I hated his guts.”

Her eyes flashed and she smiled warmly at Shinji. “Have you ever told your father how much you dislike him?” Shinji merely shook his head.

“Why not? Running might seem like a good idea, but confronting the problem is the shortest way to help it disappear. Who knows... you may not get another chance.”

Shinji opened his mouth to speak a reply just as the lift began moving again, and he was distracted by the reveal of the Geofront before his eyes. He planted the conversation firmly in the back of his mind, telling himself that maybe he should keep from running away this time.
