(He says and it's hard to really tell if he's speaking for himself or teasing Shinji because he gives him a playful smile,)
Right?
(And he lets out a loud and bright laugh,)
I've been told I'm bad at talking. (He's cryptic, he's vague, he talks in riddles and poems, he's indirect, he makes a point of being difficult to understand... he's been told it all before.) Let's hope it isn't.
("Let's" he says, agreeing to go along with Shinji. He recognizes when he's being helped when he needs it. He can try to be a little easier to deal with.)
... Be careful.
(The last thing he wants is for Shinji to also end up messed up.)
