Somehow, Malcolm manages to make some of the least comforting words, feel like a comfort to hear. Maybe it's the casual touch, which Klaus leans into easily until his head is resting on Malcolm's shoulder; maybe it's the knowledge that he's someone who really gets the things Klaus is talking about, on a level most people can't.

But regardless... it's there all the same, blooming warm and bright in the center of his chest. This is why he came over here... part of why, anyway. Beyond simply checking on his people. He needed them to do the same, even if it wasn't about what had just happened the day before. Knowing he has people that care goes a long way for someone like Klaus.
