( He can feel Luke's distress straight down to his core, no empathy bond necessary. He knows Luke's built his entire life around his siblings, even before the apocalypse. Afterward they became the cornerstone of his very survival. Them being a universe away right now... It's gotta be his worst nightmare, almost.
He squeezes his hand around Luke's bicep, then uses the touch to start gently guiding Luke away from the herd of newly hatched. Not toward comms, but toward engineering -- though it'll take a few minutes of weaving through the encampment to get there, putting on display how much larger this settlement is than Crater Lake was. Crater Lake may have had fifty at best, Basecamp Leviathan is in the thousands. It's bound to be a staggering change after the months and months they spent never seeing more than a few dozen people at a time. Not to mention all the metal. )
