If I had just spent the last 10 years of my life playing second fiddle to Nael after single-handedly capturing the first Eorzean city-state... and I was watching his entire plan unravel in terms of its raw value to the Imperial agenda (especially if this included the appearance of one-if-not-two Elder Primals)... I, too, would just sit back and enjoy for a minute. I'd have earned it. Gaius had to be feeling like redemption was at hand; he predicted this would be bad for the war effort... and he'll be back on top soon enough. Remember his last words...
"Leave me something worth conquering."
