If nothing else, he's clearly sinking into reluctant relaxation again; even he can only keep going on passion and adrenaline for so long.
Still, he musters the last of that strength to squeeze Steve's hand again, and give a firm answer.
"Follow my lead. Ignore other devils as much as you can, and don't accept anything they offer you. If I tell you to run, don't argue with me, just do it."
"Okay." Just that, before he settles back down, curls around Zerxus again and closes his eyes.
He... might run? It sort of depends, but there's no point in having that argument at all, much less right now.
Right now he's going to fall asleep and hope the devil he's in bed with does the same. He needs to heal more than he has. Steve will probably sleep more than he thinks in his attempt to convince Zerxus to, which will annoy him but probably be useful in the long run.
