Cagalli and Athrun in “Unfinished Business”

Great work, Athrun!

Athrun

You too, Cagalli.

I’m really glad we managed to stop the attack on Orb. I was honestly shocked when I first heard about it, being told to team up to fight the one who took down Kira and Shinn. Well, that plan was pretty reckless. I was really worried about you.

Athrun

Don’t worry. Winning a battle isn’t just about strength. You can exploit weaknesses or set traps. There’s no need to fight on the enemy’s terms.

As expected from you.

Athrun

Of course! Even if we went up against each other five times, I wouldn’t lose.

Really?

Athrun

Yeah. But there’s no doubt that we won thanks to you Cagalli. Its because you provided Justice and Cavalier.

I see. I’m glad I could be of help.

Athrun

Also, Shinn is 10 years too early to pilot Justice.

(light-hearted) That might be true.

Anyway, Athrun.

Athrun

Uh... Here it comes...

That enemy pilot said something about “shameless delusions.” What was all that about?

Why are you silent?

Athrun

There’s no way I can say it.

So it’s something you can’t say?!

Athrun

It’s not like that!

Hmm... I heard from Meyrin, she said that a girl named Meer was in your room before.

Athrun

When did you hear this?! Besides, that was just a misunderstanding-

So you did something that could be misunderstood?

Athrun

How did you reach that conclusion?

Meyrin is Lunamaria’s sister, you know. She probably knows everything you’ve done.

Athrun

Like I said…Why? Hmm... Alright. I was thinking of you.

Huh?

Athrun

Sorry. But let me make one thing clear - you’re the only one I’ve ever looked at like that, Cagalli, on that deserted island!! [Athrun is shown to be blushing at Cagalli, embarrassed.]'

I-Is that so? Mhhm... It was necessary to win, right? Mhhm... Then it can’t be helped. I’ll let this slide.

Athrun

Cagalli…?

Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?

Athrun

If I told you beforehand, would you have cooperated?

Of course not!!!
