Even at the end of his emotional rope, Loki liked that. The little terms of endearment, the quiet reassurances that they'd get through this. The idea that he wasn't alone with it anymore. At the very least he seemed to be settling somewhat, easing back from that painful brink into something a bit more secure, with Steve's help and comfort.
He could tell that Steve was backing off, leaving the rest of the unpleasant details and questions for another time. Part of him bristled at the idea of being handled so delicately, but the larger part of him was comforted by that consideration, appreciated it, especially accompanied by the promises to stay.
"I... I think I'll be okay." Said quietly, a soft assessment to let Steve know in kind that his efforts were helping. "So long as you stay."
