[But his tone is teasing, easy.]

You're as close to a godsend as I think I'll ever get. You've got a lot of faults, Steve, but you're the reason why I'm here.

[He can't help it, squeezing at Steve with his right hand, his smile drifting to something a little more somber despite himself. There are a number of reasons why he tries to keep things bottled up, but at the end of the day, that's probably something dark inside of him talking.]

You pulled me out of something I never would have escaped on my own.
