The confusion from being in pain, fatigued, and drugged hadn't worn off yet. His fogginess was on and off, but they had the drug packet being infused into him as they were speaking. So there's that.
Then Riley could maybe totally tell Mac was using a positive facade. Mac, overall, wasn't sure how to express all of the emotions he had. That would come in due time. He'd handled tragedy before, and he will do it again.
But this is going to be the hardest he'd faced. Ever. This was the second worst thing to ever happen to him in his entire life. And he hated seeing his friends worry about him. So much.
