He knows he has friends, but he also thinks of himself as an acceptable loss. It was Devero out there that made him think people would definitely be trying to get them back, that he wasn't the only mistake stuck outside.

But it does occur to him, then, that Seto was probably trying, too. And trying for him. And he went through somethin' real damn rough because of it.

Yondu doesn't make him get up, but he crouches beside him and puts an arm around his shoulders. No hug was invited, but it's one of those gruff old-man hugs, which should be acceptable. A 'dad' hug as that's his default. But it's grateful, because he knows Seto tried for all of them, and for him. And anyone that invites shit upon themselves on your behalf deserves credit where it's due.
