[Steven probably doesn't even realize how easily he takes charge and it helps immensely in a situation like this where Marc feels like he is steadily losing control. Maybe working together as they have these last few months has been paying off after all whether they know it or not. Either way, he is grateful.
Of course, Marc feels guilty over putting Steven in this spot to begin with but there's nothing he can do but let himself trust that they've got each other's backs. Steven is more capable than he gives himself credit for and Marc's own control slips so easily. He needs him.]
I won't- I won't abandon you in a shitty situation like this. It's fine, I'm fine. [Despite the way his voice wavers he is trying to be strong too, even if it always feels harder when faced with an issue deeper than their present surroundings.]
I... I trust you, I know you can do it. [He's a nervous presence near the front but he knows it would be so very easy to hide right now.] Just don't forget to take it out of park first.
