He really, really does not know how to do the comfort thing. He's aware she isn't asking it of him. She isn't, in fact, asking anything of him outside the truth. But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to give it, that there isn't a part of him that wishes he knew what the right thing to say and do was at any given time, but especially in moments like these. He keeps quiet as she slides down to the floor, before he follows in suit next to her. He can't tell her it's not brutal. He can't tell her the pain isn't excruciating; that it's not scary. All of these things would be lies.
But he can do one thing. Something his own brothers have been trying to do for him, and he has not allowed. Perhaps until now, when he realizes he can't teach Cora unless he learns, too.
"I can help you," he says finally. "If you want. There aren't many of us out there in Chicago - you're the first wolf I've met outside of my brothers, but they've already been where we are. They've been teaching me the ropes and I can teach you. You shouldn't have to figure this out on your own." That's what Logan would say, and he's never met anyone smarter than Logan.
