"Hey-- hey." Fuck. Now Marc's-- parts anxious and guilty for making Steven cry like that. He's not even saying anything, not yelling at Marc for being mean or telling him off for anything. He's just doing this helpless, pitiful cry and Marc's--
Well, Marc just tries to wrap him up in his arms and hold him. "Sorry. I shouldn't have-- I didn't mean to say it like that."
He can't help the fact they died, and if Steven wants to hate him for getting them killed... he gets it. He really does get it. But right now? He doesn't have anything else to offer besides the comfort. "C'mon. I know I'm not the best guy to be stuck with for eternity, but there are other people here, okay? You're not alone, Steven. We're not frozen in sand. We still... got something. We still got each other too, man, for what that's worth."
Probably not too much right now, but hey-- he's trying. He hates seeing Steven like this. Hates knowing he keeps failing him. He really is just... a total fuckup when it comes to trying to keep Steven safe or happy. Why is he even surprised at this point?
