Cole probably already knows that, but it's worth saying. And Ben knows, too, that Cole didn't misunderstand the question. Not when there is such strong emotion behind it. So he respects that gentle evasion. They're still in the frying pan, or possibly the fire by this point. Focus, Number Six. He really doesn't have time to let his mind wander.
So he lets Cole pull him along, encouraged by the thought that they're nearly to a tunnel that will lead them away from this place. Ben's been in some bad places, before, but this one really takes the cake. It would be bad enough all on its own, with the dankness and smell and twisting passages, even if it weren't for the danger and the bad associations it holds for Cole. All that combined, well. Ben wants the fuck out of here, as soon as possible.
