For a second there, Kai kind of wished he could see the expression Shinji was making rather than the stunning, burning horizon. He could picture it though. It was probably the soft one he got sometimes when things were just chill, when it seemed like Kai wasn't actually looking. Just a moment or two away from maybe a smile, if only he never noticed that Kai was looking.
Maybe that was a weird wish, but Kai was too busy being a Good Driver to let the oddity of it settle.
Knowing a full conversation was hard even with a quieter bike, Kai let it settle at that. It wouldn't be terribly long before they got to where they were going anyway. It definitely wasn't a mountain like Kai would have preferred. It wasn't even a grassy field, which might have made for a good second choice. Even with the walls expanding, it was still mostly city out there in the quiet edges. There was at least one fairly decent spot though.
It was a little park that Kai pulled up to. It had been a sad patch of dust when the first explorations had happened, but after that happy breeze blew through doing its happy plant magic deal? It made a nice little green haven full of soft, new grass, tiny trees and open sky. There still wasn't much to it, but what it had was Just Enough.
