"You don't have to apologize for that." Steve had to lead with that. He feels like he's partly to blame. It's so hard for him to work out his value as a person outside of being Cap. It's difficult to know how others feel towards him when he isn't jumping to protect them from every enemy they face.
"Even if my best friend didn't come back from the dead, I'd still have a lot of stuff to work out. It's hard to see things that are probably right in front of me." He gently runs his hand up and down Tony's back, hoping to console him a little. Tony is still the one physically healing here. He'd like to have him focusing solely on that even if it's not really possible for someone like Tony Stark.
