Shinji:

You've been helpful every step of the way, friend. Without you, there's a chance that this might not have happened.

*gestures to the good progress*

I owe you a great debt of gratitude.

*Smiles.*
The only debt you owe me is to keep making progress a little at a time. Having helped you out is payment enough otherwise.
*Stretches.*
Probably about time we return to reality if you're feeling better though. We've both got priorities and responsibilities we should to return to, right?
