Hey, I've re-watched that scene and one think got my attention. When Wash says 'No, I was just-' Locus interrupts him saying 'I was just following orders.' Wash then repeats his sentence.

It sounded like Locus might have made a similar thing in his past - murdering an ally. That would explain his fascination about Wash and fit his soldier ideology - not to "mourn the fallen".
