As soon as Steve pulls him into a hug Viatorus loses the last of his strength and his legs give out from under him. He surrenders to the reassurance and support of his friend, and to the exhaustion overtaking him. It's hard to tell if he hears Steve, since instead of speaking he battles with his sobbing.
At this point Runa has woken up and gotten to her feet, but she stays back, looking between the other three for some point at which she might help. Isidor steps closer, but doesn't intervene, waiting for her cue.
After a bit, Viatorus starts to nod his head. In between sharp breaths and sniffling he says, "A-Al-Alright. I-I'll. I'll go to sleep."
