He's in a hard place mentally/emotionally to start with and then the whole ~EMOTIONS~ thing from Eros? It's not a good time to make decisions! (Also okay I admit it was too funny to NOT get him stuck in a chimney)

But he's never been part of formal team things really so it's not the first thing he thinks about doing; it just didn't occur to him to coordinate. Once he realised he kept seeing the same dude in the background, he just was like YO HOLD UP
