He knows a little about her life and knows that it wasn't great. He doesn't
push or prod her to tell him more unless she seems open to talking about
it. He certainly doesn't want to push her into talking about anything
that'll upset her. Tim (like many men) has no idea what to do with a crying
woman, at least nothing that he feels is helpful.
He knows she has a sister, of course, and he knows that Prim doesn't want
to leave Itinere because of her sister. He can assume enough to realize
that her sister is probably dead back home. He's not the brightest bulb in
the batch, but he's not dumb either.
His brow furrows and he glances over at Prim as she talks. In response, he
puts an open hand on the seat between them, fingers spread out. It's an
invitation to hold onto his hand if she wants. He's never really been an
anchor for anyone, but he thinks he can manage giving Prim something to
hold onto if that's what she needs.
He's noticed that she generally liked to keep her hands busy, but he hadn't
realized now until she'd explained it. He'll take notice more often and,
likely, offer his hand to hold onto if she likes, if she doesn't turn down
his offer now.
