Zero watched Gabe the few moments before he responded, part of him wondering idly what it was that the man was even doing (meditating?). Then he spoke, and the former Reploid couldn't help but frown a little more at his response. He still wants to help, huh... Zero remembered what he'd said earlier about not wanting to be alone, but he honestly couldn't understand why that was considered more unwanted than being stuck with someone who couldn't run well. (A liability, in other words.)
The 'torch' replacement was a different problem, though. Zero didn't understand right away what it was the other man was referring to, exactly - the first image that came to mind was a stick with a flame at the end, something he'd definitely never seen used here - but then he remembered that flashlights were sometimes called torches by some people, and that explanation made much more sense. "I don't have one anymore, either," Zero admitted, then frowned even more as he realized what this meant. So Gabe was planning to not only wander around with a liability, but a liability without a light source. Zero was just about to tell him how stupid that idea was--
--when suddenly there was a knock at the door, followed by a familiar voice, both of which immediately captured his full attention.
"X?" ...He really shouldn't be surprised that the man was here, honestly. Gabe wasn't the only one wanting to help others whether it was beneficial to them or not. At first, he thought about hobbling over to the door to let his friend in, but the thought of how much of a pain that would be made him hesitant. "...The door's unlocked," Zero called instead. There, that'll do.
