Steve is careful as he lays Viatorus down on his bed. Stands at the bedside once Runa comes back with a glass of water and the medicine again. Steve holds both while she sets about tucking Viatorus in and making him as comfortable as possible. He'll be there to make sure Viatorus takes the medicine and once he has Steve borrows a chair and places it at the side of the bed.

He holds Viatorus' hand and keeps talking about his world quietly until Viatorus falls asleep. He doesn't let go of his friend's hand once. He'll rest there until V wakes again. If they want him to become more willing to sleep when he's supposed to, first he needs to feel safe. At the very least, Steve can help with that. He gives Runa a hug and claps Isidor gently on the shoulder when he leaves the next day.

Steve's exhausted, but he's happier than he's been in a long time to have been able to help a friend in need.
