Roland doesn't hint - at least, not in this case - but Firo comes to more or less the right conclusion anyway, because that isn't a topic Roland really knows how to talk about. Especially not now, so far removed from those old days when there were men around Roland who might have agreed with Firo.

But the topic is dropped, and he doesn't give it a second thought. What he's thinking on instead is Firo's question, and the more important one it leads to. That is, how badly they can get away with searching, here. "We'd best not linger. Those tied up outside'll be waking to call their fellows any minute now."
