Because both our guts are screaming at us that there is no getting out of here alive. The thought echoed in Tim's head but where normally he would have shared, for now he held his own council. Whatever scenarios were making his partner's head a nest of horrors, Raylan didn't need more fodder for the dark.
"I am absolutely going to take advantage of this information back home, when you try to tell us we can manage on a full and I insist on a king mattress," he teased with a hopeful sort of softness.

He couldn't lie to Raylan and tell him it would be 'okay' because they both knew that was patronizing bullshit. Declarations of getting out of here in one piece were likewise, impossible promises.
Some get so caught up in the story, they grow to like the target and when they got the green light; they couldn't pull.
It was a story he wove now, as ethereal as any he'd ever read about wizards and talking animals. But it was the only temporary escape he could give his partner.
