"Oh I liked the old you. I hated the shit you put in your body." Mainly, he hated the way it left Klaus in a haze. He understood why, of course, or at least he could guess just like the rest of them could. But, even then, the last thing that Diego wanted was to lose him to his vices and he's damn glad that that's behind him.
Klaus forgiving him makes some of the tension in his shoulders disappear, but not entirely. It will be harder for Diego to forgive himself for it, because that list just keeps growing larger and larger, but he nods slightly almost as a silent thank you. He's not quite sure he deserves this, but he's thankful either way.
"What, he got pissed when he found out you left?" Diego frowns, because while he hadn't known that Klaus had been in California for a good while, he knew that he had gotten kicked out. In one of his secret visits to see their mother, Pogo had let it slip. Diego didn't have the same luck as Allison in finding their brother, but he's not quite sure he would have been able to really nurse him back to help either way. Allison has always been the one that's more nurturing out of all of them, so it's not necessarily surprising that she did it. It does take him by surprise, though, that Luther had taken issue with it (although, if he really thinks about it, maybe it wouldn't be so surprising).
A faint smile settles on his lips as Klaus continues speaking, and he shakes his head slightly. "I don't agree, but thanks." He takes a sip of his coffee, quiet for a moment before he sighs under his breath. "This all got so fucked up, didn't it. I knew all of us together would probably be a disaster, but I think we've managed to outdo ourselves this time."
