Hilariously Hiroto is about the age of Lafiel's younger brother, so there is some protectiveness. On the other hand, he's not that much younger than she was when she completed her military training*, and her final bit of training was on the ship that was the first casualty of the war. So she doesn't want to shelter him too much because she figures that she can't, and that it would be crueler to him to try.
As I was saying above, Zeta and developing some responsibility and leadership skills is what keeps Lafiel from being sufficiently non-compliant that she gets written off as 'pain in the ass' and GLaDOS decides to find a new test subject. She's not really all that well-behaved as a prisoner, but she's developed enough grasp of strategy and command to sit down and wait til she has the information she needs.
Reverse for Hiroto?
* Lafiel was a prodigy, no one expected a war, and the Abh military is the only place in Abh space to really learn how to operate ships, so she was allowed into the academy as soon as she passed the entrance exams.
