Distance. Considering what they'd done yesterday, maybe that was a good thing. Or, maybe it was indicative of the space that Malcolm might have wanted. Any other time, Malcolm sat next to him. He shifted his cup a little into his palm and took a sip, eyes kept on Malcolm's face til the questions.
"I've been tryin' to keep busy. Doc went out with me this mornin' and taught me about your willow bark. Learned a few things, which is always nice when it ain't about how wrong I am about the view of the word, my reality and time. Restocked the firewood. Cleaned next door." He was kind of tired of getting told 'You ever think you just don't know what your reality is made up of?'
He didn't get any of that here.
Eyes coming back to Malcolm, his lips curled a little bit. "A few hours, yeah. Not a terribly uncomfortable bed, especially when it's prewarmed." Nevermind that Raylan curled up and soaked in the warmth and scent and comfort of it all. He wanted to ask Malcolm if he was okay, like somehow a kiss could.. destroy something and it could.. He couldn't bring himself to open that door at this exact moment.
"Doc'll be takin' you tonight but if y'all need me.. I'll probably be awake for about five minutes... When you're not screamin' my name, I can usually slip back under for a few hours more..." His lips curled a little. "How are you?"
Overall but also.. since yesterday.
[OOC note for future readings: Raylan ended up telling Doc later that Raylan would take the night.]
