Steven makes a high-pitched little whine. He doesn't want to think about Marc dying, even though he said he would come back. He shakes his head and has to sniffle a few times to try and keep a plug in the waterworks. Taking two big gasps, he swallows down the discomfort and nods a few times.

"Okay. Okay I will. And you-- you have to come back! I'll be waiting. Waiting until I'm cranky." And Steven is extra mean when he's cranky! It is known.
