It's so interesting how the costume design resembles perfectly what is happening in this scene.
Ilya - the nonchalant, I don't give a fuck-guy, showed up to the press conference in a suit and tie, very formal, very approriate. And it unravels during this scene how uncomfortable he is, how much he struggles with the language barrier and even though he tries to play the part, he fails.
Shane on the other hand - the guy who folds his clothes before sex and is always very on guard and socially awkward - rolls up to this press conference without a tie and his shirt unbottoned, not a care in the world, he is in his element. He senses Ilya's discomfort right away and jumps to his aide because he does take control when he is comfortable, when he is sure of himself and we do continue to see this dynamic between them further on.
