Rei seemed calm, at least. Which was good. But once again, just like the first night he'd met her, she was standing around out here by herself and that was something a parental worrywart like Byrne could not accept. Not when there were so many dangers in this place at night, or very (possibly) real threats being spoken about over the intercom by a certain head lunatic.
Concern was more than obvious on the prosecutor's face now. "Well, not really, but... What are you doing out here by yourself, Rei? Are you waiting for someone?" Hopefully the answer would be yes. If no, then Byrne was already prepared to strongly insist on sticking with her for the night. Granted, his...questionable condition might not make him the safest person to travel with - not to mention the shard of glass he had on hand wasn't the best weapon in the world to use against the creatures here - but it was much better than leaving her alone, right?
(Ignoring the fact that he had used his condition and lack of weapons to justify to himself earlier why it was too dangerous to travel with Badd, who was a full grown man with a pistol rather than a young girl. But details are details...and it wasn't like Rei was the one on Byrne's personal 'do not talk to forever' list right now, anyway.)
