The fact that Collins didn't respond with some dick swinging bravdo was a good sign. Raylan was onto something. The question was could he narrow down to the specifics enough to really hit that nail home. Thankfully, his pissed off tone wasn't any louder than his normal speaking voice and there was nothing to do about it being angry either way.

But Raylan takes a deep breath in through his nose and his jaw works as he pulls himself back from telling Collins to get it over with it or let him up. A long moment of silence sat heavy between them.

"You came here for connection and understandin'. For someone who ain't here to coddle you or lie to you. For a way to survive and live a life that ain't myriad in blood and loneliness."

He pauses for half a heartbeat. "And I ain't sayin' no to that." Even if maybe he should be, considering.
