[Whatever firm, authoritative presence Ford might have had dissolves the moment Stanley agrees to see what he has to show him. He visibly relaxes, practically melts really, and looks so damn relieved that it's clear to see who's really got the upper hand in this situation. A confident man wouldn't let his shoulders drop like this. A man who knows he can force someone to do what he wants wouldn't let his hold on someone go slack the moment he was told what he wanted to hear.
Ford does both these things because he is decidedly not confident in his amount of control in this situation, and quite honestly he's amazed he's managed to weasel even this small amount of compliance out of his brother.
"Alright, good. Good. Get your coat, we, ah. We've got some walking to do."
And with that Ford lets go of his brother's wrist all the way and turns away from him, both to retrieve his own coat and to put some distance between the two of them before Stan can get the chance to change his mind on him.
