Ford lets that comment about burning down more than just kitchens slip for now - like most things in Stan's life, Ford's not sure if he ought to look too deep into it. He's still unsure of where they stand, of what subjects they're allowed to bring up and what topics they'll have to put on the back burner until they patch things up a little better - give themselves time to trust each other with the ugly details of their lives that they can't bring themselves to put out on the table just yet.
He's not sure if he'll ever be ready to tell Stan that the things he's revealed to him so far -as awful as they are- are just the tip of the iceberg as far as gritty details of his life go.
"I know these woods like the back of my hand, Stanley." Which, considering Ford spends a great deal more time looking at his hands than the average person, is really saying something.
"So long as we stick to the right path, we shouldn't have any trouble. Unless we run into a gremgoblin, but at this time of the year we're more likely to come across a colony of eye-bats, which are practically harmless."
