Somehow, Kaz can tell that the smirk isn't really at his expense, even if there is still the sense that he's missing out on some joke. Saying that they've got bigger problems is essentially a way of evading the question, which Kaz is going to take to mean that Snake hasn't been able to get any messages to the outside. They're on their own.

But are they in this together, or not? Kaz can't just crawl back to Snake as if nothing happened, it would go against every conviction he'd made since Venom showed up. But there's nothing wrong with getting some basic information out of him, is there?

"Gods," he echoes with a frown. With the kinds of lives they've led, he's pretty sure both he and Snake alike gave up on the idea of a higher power a long time ago. His mother had impressed on him the tenets of Shintoism, but none of it had really stuck, at least not on a deeper level. "Sounds like they've just got huge egos." Like someone else he knows.

Now that he's caught his breath, Kaz starts to walk, managing a decent pace despite the fact that he has to use the cane. He isn't heading in any specific direction other than away from the coliseum, but he figures Snake will speak up if he's unknowingly leading them into another trap. At this point he wants to get a lay of the land. "What do they want with us?" he asks, keeping his gaze focused forward. It's easier than continuing to look at that face, that's for sure.
