Some questions didn't need answers. There was nothing to gain from rising to the bait, to telling her why it didn't matter if Black Badge gave a damn or not. No answer he could give would really answer he thought she had. Why didn't they care about Dolls? Why didn't someone, anyone? She was looking for and had, apparently found who she wanted to place that blame with.
But so long as she allowed for any delineation between him as a man and the badge he wore, Raylan was confident he could find a way around those ugly truths of her life, towards something that served their goal more definitively. Her grief was good, in its own way - she'd fight like hell because of it.
His dark eyes stay steady on hers and lets the words ring around them for a long moment before he answers, calm and sure and back to that reassuring tone.
"No. Cause I know the file I got ain't a fraction of the man it belongs to. Maybe that's somethin' else you can help me fix when we got some down time. But I got a lead on a lost little girl with a whole bunch of dead cows across the families land and I could use your knowledge of the area. Of it's problems, hot spots, people that ain't from around here."
