The question leaves 11 flabbergasted and he looks from Gino to Suzaku in confusion. He wouldn't have been so surprised about Gino not remembering him - after all he is not a particularely flashy person and to most foreigners, all Japanese people look the same anyway - but that Suzaku wouldn't remember him... They had met multiple times since the young man had been a child, after all. he hasn't even fully realized yet that they haven't recognized the other nation, either.
So the notion of 'Britannia is here and blocking the way for Zero and Britannia just found me in the same room as Zero this is bad' is fighting a hard battle with the confusion and indignation about not being recognized.
He will just try to pull out of contributing to this conversation until he either needs to rejoin it or has understood what is going on. Or both. That seems the best way to save face right now.
"I am sure Ms Britannia would be better fit to answer such questions." That way, he would also get around introducing himself by his number. It just is so very humiliating, especially when the empire herself is present.
