That was the way it ought be and as cheesy as it was, it really did warm Raylan's heart how equally they'd accepted the girls. They weren't related, but they were still half growing up as sisters and while it wasn't a yard of little Givens, it was more than he could have ever expected. That being said, yes - Raylan got antsy when he thought they'd been gone too long, hand too eager to twitch towards his phone to make sure they were okay.
He trusted Henry. He didn't trust everyone else out there.
"And leave you out of all the fun?" Raylan teased in return. There was an impulse to go over, to touch him, to wish him a softer kind of farewell, but their ease and comfort in that waxed and waned on any given day. Raylan knew it didn't mean anything, and he couldn't help marking it regardless.
"Drive safe," he called before the door shut. He trusted Henry. He would still worry in a way he couldn't help until him and the girls were home and safe. Back behind the walls and security of their guns.
