As rhetorical as his question is, Diego really didn't expect Klaus to do the same. Not specifically for anything Klaus has said or done - he knows damn well that he cares about him, but it's all Diego. Diego, who has grown so damn used to being the lone wolf in the pack. Diego, who cut himself off from their family the second he saw the opportunity to do so. Diego, who has almost died before, in another hospital, in another lifetime, and hadn't had visitors beyond Patch. Which, to be fair, it's not like Klaus knew back then what happened, but for a moment it had been a sore reminder of the fact that he could die and no one from his family came out of the woodwork.
He doesn't say any of that, though, or even gives it much thought. He just listens to Klaus as he talks, making a face when he talks about the paparazzi. Shit, he hadn't even thought of that.
"See, then that's definitely a reason to get the hell out of here before someone tries to get a picture of us. We wouldn't want to bring our dear sister any additional drama, would we." Especially considering the few shots that have leaked already, of them during their walks. Allison hadn't been to thrilled since some of them showed the injury that she still hasn't necessarily informed the public about, but at least her PR team had been able to control the situation.
Although, if he's honest, he's not necessarily thinking just of Allison right now. He just doesn't want to be here.
The comment about dealing with his grief makes him shake his head slightly. "I don't know what the hell you're trying to get at, but it was just bad luck. It happens, you know. Even to the best of us."
There's a touch of defensiveness in his tone, but it doesn't dawn on him until a moment later. He just pinches the bridge of his nose as he closes his eyes for a moment, though, as if somehow that will ease the way his head feels. "This isn't the first time this happened so don't turn it into something it isn't."
