When Candy comes to Crooks' room, Crooks initially responds with hostility and defensiveness due to his past experiences of being mistreated because of his race. However, his attitude softens as he realizes that Candy is not there to harm him, and he becomes more open and vulnerable in sharing his thoughts and feelings.

Candy quotes from Of Mice and Men?
"Ranch with a bunch of guys ain't no place for a girl." "They'll can me pretty soon... I won't have no place to go." "A guy on a ranch don't never listen nor he don't ask no questions" chap 2.
What explanation does Lennie give for crooks coming into his room?
He has been isolated and abused for a long time at the ranch. Maybe he sees that Lennie, being fairly simple, will not judge him as inferior because of the colour of his skin. Crooks welcomes the company as he leads a very lonely life, but he tries to hide this. He is mean to Lennie when he first arrives, but he begins to soften. This meanness is his defence mechanism. He wants to have friendships but doesn't want to be rejected or disappointed, so he tries to keep people at a distance. He is even accepting of Candy coming into their conversation. Things only change when Curley's Wife comes in and starts ridiculing them. She reminds Crooks of his lowly status and that he has no rights due to his skin colour. This is when Crooks changes back to his mean unfriendly ways. Also, at this stage in the novel all the other men have gone into town drinking and looking for women. They have left Lennie, Crooks and Candy behind - they are not thought fit to go with them (Lennie is simple and might cause trouble, Crooks is black and therefore it is not acceptable for him to socialise with the men, and Candy would cramp their style). Maybe Crooks is glad that he is not the only one left behind, and feels sorry for Lennie also being left behind.
