His lips curve slightly into a small smile that's hardly there, but it's at least genuine. "Yeah, well. It's your fault for coming here, no one told you to show up."
It's a joke of his own, and the lack of bite in his words show it. He can't get rid of how tired he sounds - or feels - but at least he's no longer just trying to shrug this whole thing off.
For now, anyway. But Klaus mentions getting him checked out tomorrow, and that helps a lot. He hates being here with a burning passion, but if he will help him get out of here in the morning, then he can tolerate it for a few hours. He's not sure if Klaus is just saying that to appease him, or if it's the truth, but Diego plans to hold him to it, anyway. And, even if it could be a lie, it's enough to ease some of the dread he feels by being in this damn place, and he visibly relaxes.
"Thanks for being here," he finally adds after a moment, even if his gaze is on the television. Even if he's actually starting to doze off, because the painkiller is making it easy to dull out the pain enough to at least help him breathe.
