His lips quirk upward, an impossible to stop thing, at the too-fond thought and words that follow, "He always has been." Good at that. Caring about, and for, his people. Whoever may be comprising his inner circle at the time. He even did it to varying degrees with their Rogues back home. Less than with him or Lisa, than how he does now with Sara or the rest of the team on this ship. But still. It was a constant in who Mick has always been, under all the parts about him that sit constantly on the surface and make people doubt him.

Leonard isn't very good at taking care of himself, which might explain why he needed someone like Mick in his life. He might not have done half as well, lived half as long (the first time) as he had without Mick to make sure he did things like eat and sleep, even when he was caught up in the most intricate of plans. The only person Leonard ever really never skipped a beat in caring about, and for, and catering to, was Lisa.

He tries with Sara, because he recognizes certain things she does, or more specifically, doesn't do because he does, and doesn't do, the same things. Or similar enough that it's not hard to make the appropriate leaps. He tries, but most of the time, he's not sure how good at it he ever is.

He reaches for the plate that Mick had sent with him, placing it in that outstretched hand of hers. Sometimes, a person just does things because they knew it was something that would make other people happy. Like eating, when it's probably the last thing on your mind really, because you can't let their efforts be wasted when they went out of their way to bother in the first place.

Leonard doesn't mind being here, being whatever sort of solace he can be for her. As long as she needs it, or until she sends him away.
