[ There's a slight sigh following it because of... well, everything. Claude hadn't really expected Sylvain to sprawl out even if it was an option since he'd be loath to do the same for a variety of reasons. Revealing too much, showing a weakness, and not being able to get up and move quickly if needed all being some of them, but he does bump Sylvain's shoulder back with his own.
Claude would hesitate to call it relief that he's not here by himself given that they still don't know where here is or what this means. Nonetheless, there is a certain kind of solidarity in being together to face whatever it is. Across the way, he can make out other people huddled around rocks, the dead trees somehow growing in here - and bodies. Looking out isn't helping him any, and that's without the added burden of claustrophobia on top of it.
This time when he turns his head to study Sylvain, it's without any criticism behind it while he thinks something over before nudging the other with his shoulder again. ]
You're not alone down here, you know. We'll get through this together. [ Then with a faint smile because that's all he can put effort into summoning right now, he adds, ] Even if that wasn't the plan.
