Joly SHOULD have probably been looking for one of his friends at this point, or finding somewhere to hide until going to look for them felt reasonable, instead of making his heart beat so hard he could feel it in his chest, but that was not exactly happening either.
He had to do SOMETHING other than just standing there, and the lack of any smog to trip him up was an advantage he ought to be taking, but that was when he caught site of one of the tributes he hadn't noticed before and edged his way closer, glad that he recognized the signs of panic well enough from his own experiences with it that he could be of some use to someone before his uselessness settled in again.
"Monsieur?" He asked, making his way over, pitching his voice so that it could be more soothing than not. "They do not like us to linger here, usually. If they are not already planning to send something to be sure we do not, that will happen soon." It was probably not the most helpful thing he could have said, but he'd rarely been on this end of a panic attack before.
"I think that there is time for both of us to find a safe place if you could trust me for as long as that takes. I am a doctor, where I came from." He did not mention that he had actually been ALMOST a doctor or the year, which seemed to alarm more people than that first confession, and maybe that would help, a little.
