"Alright. I'll check this house." And hopefully they won't be needing that rope to go spelunking today. He's pretty sure nothing will happen to Raylan and Malcolm's handiwork apart from getting buried in more snow, and that they've sufficiently talked Raylan out of a Supremely Stupid Idea, so he's confident enough to leave their side and peel off, see if he can find anything useful.

He might also be needing that little bit of space and distance. Though it is not necessarily the case with Malcolm, whom he is quietly thankful has taken his side this time even though he had never asked for it, and it should not involve taking sides, sometimes with Raylan they do better with silences than with talking.
