[ Having Shinn push in front of her is the absolute last thing Lacus wants here, but she knows she'd just hurt his feelings by dismissing the protective gesture through reversing their positions yet again - especially not when she can't actually be certain Godzilla wouldn't strike at her as well.
'Not deserving' and 'remember their place' huh... The phrasing reveals the difference between their mindsets clear as day. A place is not something that should be taught, it's something that should be found. 'Learning' through power and authority is nothing but conditioning, not personal growth.
This means that it's going to be difficult to reach Godzilla just through her words right now. Their understanding of the world is too different. Instead she bows her head. ]
I do apologize for the behaviour of my teammate on the network.
[ They're not teammates in LILITH terms but she does not want to call him a 'subordinate' either, so this is the closest approximation of their relationship at home that she wants to give. ]
He was coming from a place of empathy for the people of Seoul, but he went too far and made rash judgements on people who were working their hardest.
[ But then she'll raise her head, and her expression is firm. ]
However, I also know Shinn has been working tirelessly to try and find those of us who are missing. And I know that he will continue to do so, at my side. So I'd ask you to desist from incapacitating him any further. We need all our strength for those we are missing.
