I mean - yeah? Like in real life, yeah, that's why. But if I just told you a real-life fact, it wouldn't be a funny joke. [ Gideon pauses, thinking. ] Unless you're from the Sixth, maybe.

It's because nothing gets under their skin.

[ Gideon waits for Kaworu to chuckle, at the very least, hoping that she won't have to explain this joke. It's pretty straightforward, she thinks. ]

HOW DID I MISS THIS DELIGHTFUL TAG

[He blinks a few times and then opens his mouth to say something... and then it clicks. His confused expression morphs into a grin, clearly pleased with himself for catching it before he asked.]

Because they don't have any, right?

it's all good <3

[ Gideon claps Kaworu on the shoulder. Good job, dude! She then holds up Shinji-kun so that he can say congratulations to Kaworu as well. The lizard just kind of flops around. ]

Yeah, exactly. "Getting under their skin" has two meanings, one literal and one jokey, and that's why the pun is funny. Most puns work like that.

[Well, Kaworu finds Shinji-kun's flopping around to be delightful and very supportive. He reaches out to give the lizard a good stroke on the head.

Shinji-kun remains rather motionless.]

I see. So it's a phrase that has two meanings. [He thinks about this. The biggest issue is probably his lack of life experience and only hearing of certain things second-hand.]

The phrases that humans come up with to mean other things are so curious. When I came back, Teacher said I was "under the weather" to mean that I was ill even though I hadn't gone outside.
