[ While Claude may not have much of an outward reaction at the mention of Sylvain, Steve has to assume that it's weighing on his mind. If the two of them had been together when they he was captured, then it stands to reason that Sylvain should be here too.
But there's no sign of him just yet. That, or they've missed him. Steve's tempted to assure Claude that it's going to be all right, that Sylvain's a resilient one and they'll find him. Yet he also knows that he can't promise that, and that Claude will only feel better when they have an answer one way or another.
There are other possibilities. Maybe there are other caves like this, with other pods, and Sylvain's there. Or he's in another location entirely.
All of that can be discussed and worked out once they've dealt with the immediate goal. Steve decides that's the best way to be of help right now, and so he falls into step with him to continuing searching the pods. ]
We'll figure this out, one way or another.
[ That's all he says before the two of them fall into silence as they work. ]
