[ Jim feels genuine relief that Finn promptly eases up and lets go of the bandit. He knows it's bad if they go back and report that they've found people here, but murder wouldn't have solved the issue. Whatever group they belong to would be equally suspicious, if not more, if they didn't make it back eventually.
It's a double-edged sword, and they were screwed either way they went about it from the moment they laid eyes on the pair of them.
Either way, they're definitely in trouble now. The added urgency to all this means that they can't just stop and talk about what's just happened, and despite Finn's shocked stare meeting his own wide eyes, Jim chooses not to address any of it. He releases Finn's wrist instead, gripping his phaser tightly again. ]
Come on. It's only a matter of time before more show up, and we need to let others know.
