[Silence had kept his eyes closed for the rest of the ride, leaning lightly on Crowe; he might almost have been asleep - or unconscious. But as soon as they stop, his eyes open again, flicking over Crowe and Lucas both before scanning their surroundings for threats.
He's aware that Crowe and Lucas are both at risk while they're fretting over him, so it's best if he gets himself to safety quickly. But it suddenly occurs to him that, once he's been gotten somewhere safe...Lucas and Crowe will probably go off again, looking for more survivors, and he won't be able to watch over either of them. His expression reflects his distress at the thought...but he can't easily communicate his worry to either of them, not without slowing them down more.
So, rather than holding them up, he slips off the table - though he grabs the edge of it once he's standing to steady himself. He's already feeling a bit better, but there's still a bit of dizziness there.]
