One of Raylan's hands moved across to touch Tim briefly in return, a passing anchoring point before the sniper took the lead. It helped that it was habit to fall in line behind someone - Just clearing the house - and Raylan did so with another uneven breath.

They paused on the porch and Raylan nodded back, and followed him in a few steps behind. It felt wrong to do this without a gun or a bat or something, creeping around corners like his reflection or something worse was going to eat them. It felt wrong to be doing it at all but the vicegrip around his chest argued that point quite loudly.

Raylan wasn't sure what he would have done if it weren't for Tim's thoroughness, even if he had posted up in the other house. He was grateful for the smaller man's swift actions, taking what would reflect back down and off the walls. It was only once they'd cleared the level that he breathed a little easier, the stressed flexing of his hands eased a bit.

He'd stand, but he'd stand mostly in the area directed, however fidgety he remained. "Yeah. Sorry to ask it. If you could, I'd.." Feel better. "Meantime, I'm gonna.. find a bottle of 'shine, just.. something to take the edge off."
