Collins looked up at Givens and there was a moment where his eyes seemed to search for something in the other man. Whether he found it or not was up for debate but eventually he answered.

"It was never really tha reason fer comin' here," he admitted, "but you already deduced that. It could be a fun filled night..." He closed his eyes and tilted his head to one side as if listening to something. "...but it would only be one night. It would only be one song and gone." He opened his eyes and stared directly into Raylan's gaze. "I like yer song, bull. It would be a shame ta silence it anytime soon."

He didn't know if it was the right answer, or even if it was what the lawman was trying to get out of him. But it was what he felt. It was what stayed his hand this time. Maybe it would continue to stay his hand in the future. Or maybe it wouldn't. He could give no better answer than that as he didn't know himself. He only knew that he could try.
