It should be a simple question, and somehow it's not. It's never a simple question with Locus, is it.
Wash is quiet, waiting for an answer; it becomes obvious pretty quickly that Locus is being quiet for too long. He's wrestling with something behind that helmet that Wash can't see, and whatever it is, it's not letting him go.
This is what it looks like from the outside, says a tiny voice in the back of Wash's head. It's not pretty, is it.
So he takes pity - and that's something he never thought he'd be doing, taking pity on Locus - and gives him an out. "If you don't want to talk about it, you can show me your helmet cam footage."
