[ That name does get a visible, eye-widening flash of recognition -- right, right, the first-war veteran leading the Junius 7 operation. This guy spent that operation screaming over the comms about being in charge there, didn't he? Lame, that fits with the snitty insistence on rank. (The name doesn't get the respect it would have just after Break The World. Jachin Due survivors seemed impressive when Shinn was flying only his third real combat mission, but Shinn is now completely confident that he's one of the top pilots in the world. Also, a particular Jachin Due survivor was a big disappointment and ruined the mystique, whoops.)
His attention snags visibly again at "two years," and he scowls slightly, because that doesn't make any sense. ]
It hasn't been two years. I just saw you with Lacus Clyne.
[ "Just" is a stretch, but definitely not two years ago. Also geez Yzak being somewhere for two years isn't an explanation for getting scars; normal people don't just get a new dramatic scar every every two years. ]
