He tries not to cling, but he is absolutely clinging. He knows hugs aren't something Thanatos generally enjoys, which makes him that much more grateful for this one - for the fact that Thanatos is willing to help him in the way he needs.
"Okay." He knows he's being led away - Thanatos thinks he should rest, and...well, Thanatos is right. Stress is exhausting, and relief is exhausting, and he's gone from one to the other in very quick succession. He's going to need time to settle and get his wits back about him before he can do much else.
(Not bringing up the possibility of him helping other souls yet is, as it turns out, the right move.)
He doesn't really let go until they get closer to the hotel, and he stops and looks up at Thanatos. "Thank you. For...all of this." For the butterflies. For sticking by him. For helping him figure himself out. For the hug. For caring.
