Ian tries to laugh it off a little bit, but it's a strong reminder of the weird sort of distance that's between them because of temporal anomalies and untimely deaths. It's kinda weird, though. juxtaposed with the two of them being in such an eerily similar situation now, Samus making almost exactly the same expression... A little bit of reminder of time and chances lost that Ian doesn't like to dwell on, which is why there's only a flash of a pained expression as he laughs before returning to his much more characteristic smile.
"And I do need to get off this ladder at some point."
