Wash takes note of the flinches, but he says nothing. Honestly, he'd probably react the same way if the situation were reversed, and while in most cases he might respect Rinzler's space, right now there isn't a lot of choice. It's carry most of the program's weight for him, or watch him stumble slowly down the hallway, ultimately getting nowhere before he powers down. This is just easier on both of them.
"Keep the weight off your leg. Lean on me, instead." He tells Rinzler flatly, in something of a demand but missing a sharp edge to it that might increase the certainty of it being one. Okay, so Rinzler has no idea where he was going beyond away, and he needs to get hooked up to power, however the hell that works. So where do they go? Wash is at a loss, he's never had to deal with something like this before and he doesn't know enough about Rinzler's type of programs to have a remote idea of how to get him power.
Cursing under his breath in frustration, realizing by now that asking the program any questions about anything isn't exactly getting him anywhere, Wash huffs and looks down the hallway ahead of them. Carefully, he starts to take a few steps forward, taking what he can of Rinzler's weight and coaxing the program along with the arm wrapped around his back. He could take Rinzler to his room here on Mero deck, it's unlikely anyone would look for him there... But the issue of power stands in the way of that, probably. What about the medbay? Do they have any resources to help inorganics? Wash has no goddamn clue, so while he thinks about it, he'll just get them walking down the hall and away from the elevator, which anyone could walk out of at any point.
