[ If Yzak had just left it at mentioning Athrun and Cagalli, he would have gotten a nice little snit-fit from Shinn about Oh, them, of course they'd show up together for Orb, orbs, whatever, hmph and they could have had a lovely bonding session about Athrun Zala being a pain in the ass. Alas.
Instead, Shinn startles visibly at taken down by you guys, tensing up and his eyes going wide. He doesn't want to think about that when he's off-balance in a new place. He doesn't want to think about it any time, really; he's already had enough nightmares. ]
He was alright, later, [ he says haltingly, after a moment. There's a tentative, questioning note in his voice, but he's too awkward and stubborn to come out and just ask the thing he really wants and really doesn't want to know -- How bad was it? Shinn knows that Athrun was healthy enough for a beatdown later at Orb and at Messiah, but... not how badly he and Meyrin were hurt right after Shinn ran an anti-ship sword through their mobile suit. ]
