[He's expecting her to make another break for it, which would be fine; they're out of the arena now, so she's unlikely to run into too much danger as long as she doesn't immediately turn back toward the monsters. The chances of her doing that are incredibly slim--she isn't stupid--so he's much less concerned about her now.

But he isn't really expecting her to continue conversation now that it's no longer necessary, let alone to say what she does, and it's... He feels tentatively hopeful, almost, that same need to interact with another android coming up again and prompting him to go ahead and respond while he has the opportunity.]

Yes. I encountered Markus just before the attack on Jericho; I was in the church after everyone evacuated.

[And he'd seen her on a pew, although he'd been hiding in the corner at the time and trying to pretend he wasn't there. It isn't as though he really belonged with all of them, after all, especially since the attack had been his fault. His stress level spikes briefly before he gets it back under control, refusing to dwell on that for now.

Instead, he focuses on what he can do right now to make up for things.]

I'm sorry.

[It's sudden, but entirely sincere.]

I'm sorry I chased after you and Alice, and that you could've been killed because of me. It was wrong.

[But even though a part of him had known it even then, it was just too early on for him to have been able to allow that to factor into his decisions. He's just glad, in hindsight, that they'd managed to get away.]
