Neal can't say that's a bad thing, really. Particularly not here. The more people Raylan has looking out for him the better, all things considered. That doesn't mean he has to like all of those people.
He rubs Malcolm's shoulder, drawing him in a little closer. He almost asks if Malcolm asked Athena if she wanted to come to 1306, but he can't imagine Malcolm not asking. Having met the small, aggressive girl by now, Neal figures if she's not here it's because she doesn't want to be. He can respect that, too.
Neal hesitates, something he doesn't often do where Malcolm is concerned. "I was talking to Doc earlier."
That's a place to start, at least. If Malcolm doesn't already know that it's Doc's turn to be in crisis, he should.
