He also sort of objected to 'new kid', but not enough to make a fuss about it. He felt like that would somehow make him even more kidlike to these.... mountain man types. Besides, it wasn't like Malcolm made an effort to not seem like a soft and dapper gentleman in his fussy, expensive suits. It wouldn't do to have dark and sharp corners on display where people might fail to underestimate them. Men this rugged could call him worse than 'new' and 'kid'. Many of their ilk had.
He stepped aside as Tim approached, allowing him to lead the way back into the crime scene, but Malcolm was quickly at his heels.
