Except he totally is and Tim was willing to die on that hill.
His knee jerk response was to politely decline the offer. As he had told Malcolm, he'd been feeding and caring for himself since he was less than five years old. It was part of what gave him that incredibly stubborn independent streak.
Doc was right about Tim's relationship with 1306. He would avoid the house telling himself that it was his attempt to be respectful towards Malcolm. Which was genuine but not the entire reason, as Doc had already rightly assumed.
But before he could open his mouth to decline, Tim stopped and thought about it for a moment. Thought about Doc's words, regarding community. Thought about what Raylan and even Malcolm kept poking at him about. Considered that perhaps having the excuse to check in on him, without it being a case of checking in on him, could be settling for Doc.
"Think I'd appreciate that, Henry." Tim said with a boyish grin that crinkled his eyes in a friendly way. It stripped a lot of the world weariness out of his habitual resting dick face.
