Let's just make sure it doesn't go as far as that. [losing one important person in his life is enough. he gives her shoulder another squeeze, before pushing himself up onto his feet again.]
You're strong, Hope. I doubt you even realise just how much. [he knows they likely aren't anywhere close to resolving the problems hope's dealing with. but he still gives her a nudge to stand up so they can get moving, back to the room he's taken over since arriving. the sheer amount of metal surrounding the building brings him a certain level of comfort, and if he manages to get hope to come back with him, maybe the same'll be true for her too.
it'll doubtlessly help that jocelyn will be close by too. sometimes it's easier to get a point across without words.]
