Sawyer, similarly to Alpha, did not know how to react. He was always like a mother to the crew, even to Winchester, who despite his crude humor and temper tantrums was still family to him. He cooked for them, cleaned up after them, talked through their issues, and tried to be a good friend, or maybe something closer. This is why a deep sadness awoke in Sawyer when she saw the anger and sorrow within Alpha, the betrayal she had faced. It was not the dull grief and anguish that Sawyer had faced in the height of his depravity, but rather, an active depression within his chest that compelled him to comfort her. "Lady, don't cry, please? We'd all feel better if you'd sit down and join us for dinner." He said it in a pleading tone, almost begging for the tragic show of emotion to stop and for the three to begin eating.
