[It would be a surprise to many to find that the surly god of death in fact did have a sense of humour at all. Even his twin brother, the one who knew him best in all of creation, might be surprised to find it still existed. Maybe it's just that Zagreus brings it out in him, and it's so much easier to indulge such things here without the weight of his work and responsibility on his shoulders.
Despite Zagreus' quick steps it's easy enough to keep up with him. Thanatos' stride is far longer, after all, given he has a foot in height over the other god. He smiles faintly at the reassurance and squeezes his fingers around Zagreus' hand. Thanatos is not ignorant of how such things go, but when would he have ever had the time?
He's... excited, he thinks.]
There's no need to take it so seriously. [And he never thought a statement like that would come out of his mouth.] I just hope I don't... disappoint you.
