There's a moment of consideration as he walks, but ultimately, he knows -- and Al probably knows -- that he's going to agree. He needs a partner, after all. This isn't doable alone, as much as doing it alone would sometimes seem ideal. He's used to working with Charlie, and Al's no Charlie (he tries not think about Charlie too much; dwelling on the past and the people who aren't here isn't productive), but Al's capable enough. He knows that. He's seen that.

"All right," he nods, "You come along with me tonight, and we'll see what you think."

He doesn't think Al's going to screw him over. Not when they work at the casino, too. Not when it's a small market and they have to take what they can get. They may never be friends, exactly, but he's found Al to be a reliable business partner. And now that Al's seen him in a situation like this? He doesn't imagine he'll be in a hurry to get on his bad side.
