He nods - healers keep secrets as a matter of course, and Thanatos more than most likely needs that assurance.
The explanations - both of them - make everything so much worse. Thanatos' world has an eternal winter and a war, and death itself doesn't happen without him there? Gods, no wonder he was panicking so much about being trapped-
...again. Being trapped again. Is that how he knew that death wouldn't happen without him? Had his world already tested the theory?
And then Persephone confirms that time is moving on without them.
He has to stop for a moment at that and just breathe, and take that homesickness, and pack it away. He'll handle that later. For now, he...
...has nothing to say. It's a lot, and he can't think of anything to say that will help. Instead, he reaches across the table and gently lays his hand atop Thanatos's. It's not much, but hopefully it'll help, if only a little.
