Guy's intense reaction caused Ilia to flinch, jumping a little in her seat. A flash of irritation crossed her face, then he explained and it all melted away into concern.

"A condition? When you touch women?" Sure, she had heard of gynophobia before, but she had never experienced a case firsthand. In her time and world, people could either choose counseling or find a pretty decent drug to help them overcome issues with time, but phobias weren't things that were easily cured.
".... I see. Sorry again."

In a way, that helped one issue, but she was sure it caused a whole bucketful of others. Ilia filed the information away and continued on with their conversation.

"You guys didn't have a choice. I understand that." They really had literally been unable to utter a word about the coliseum. No one could fault that kind of mental block.
