He's not sure in the moment if it's good or bad for the alien to become more familiar with the environs beyond the closed room in which Kostya is sleeping every time he emerges—will it make him less likely to panic and try to escape out into the snow in search of safety? Or will it make him want to venture further, bored of the more immediate landscape?
There's not much room for him to make any kind of decision, let alone act on it, because the alien is already moving with a rather iguana-like sort of locomotion toward the living room, which is full of things it could potentially hurt itself on (the fireplace, the sharp edges of the tools they use to tend the floor...)—so Vasiliy follows behind it at a good distance of a foot or two behind its small body, letting it take the lead for lack of anything else to do, but close enough to quickly swoop down and pick it up if it starts to get into trouble (or so he tells himself). ]

No food here. Only the fireplace. Are you cold?
