[ A generally private person (and a teenager with the appropriate amount of pride, to boot), Gen doesn't particularly enjoy sharing his memories with anyone. More than the memories themselves, it's the associated emotions woven through -- his emotions, raw and unfiltered -- that he doesn't want seen.
But it's not like that bout with Estinien had been a personal matter for him. And he can't help trusting Emet-Selch to a certain extent. So if the man says it'll be useful ... fine. Gen nods. ]
... just keep'em to yourself, I guess.
[ Even his protest is half-hearted, since he can't really imagine Emet-Selch is the type to spread such things frivolously.
So as soon as Emet-Selch gives him the okay for Communion -- off they go. Gen's memories are frantic and messy, every sensation and observation heightened by the rush of adrenaline and the hot flare of emotions. But at least they're honest. Gen permits Emet-Selch to see everything from that chaotic battle up until that bleary moment Eustace had urged him to flee before that Innocent being's might. ]
