Under normal circumstances, Soysauce probably would have noticed the sounds of someone approaching far more quickly. Under normal circumstances, he might have even gone looking for its source as soon as he heard. But as it was, Soysauce was slow to look up even as AM rounded the corner and into sight -- his hearing had been fluctuating for a while, and the fever really wasn't helping. Seated on the floor, resting against a wall, he had to stare for a moment to realize what he was looking at.

Still, the moment he realized it was another person he immediately scrambled to his feet to try and help. "-- woah, sir? Are you alright?"

It was a good distraction from his headache, at least, when he stepped forward to try and prop AM up. Poor man looked like he might topple over any moment -- looked like he was getting hit harder by the symptoms. There was clear worry in his expression as he looked over the other. "... that was probably a stupid question. Would you like some help getting back out of here?"
