[ The shadow he can pick up from her is enough to darken a little even through his shields. He's not gonna pry for more, not if she doesn't want to talk about it, but - yeah, there it is. Pretty damn shitty it is.
And not only a shitty world in general, but it sounds like personally shitty, too, and Sam - well, Sam's never been able to not respond to something like that. Especially when it feels a hell of a lot like she could use a really long hug.
He doesn't reach for her, because as tactile as he is he knows a hell of a lot better than to go grabbing at people he's only just met who may or may not be dealing with their own issues.
Instead he shifts, widening his stance and opening his arms a little as he asks permission. ]
It's not gonna make whatever you're coming from better, but can I?
