It's easier to think about Koby than it was to think about their actual situation. Mihawk prided himself in never panicking, and while he didn't feel the need to panic now, his frustration with the situation was infuriating enough.
The alliance worked more in his favor mentally than physically. It's true that Koby was useless to him physically. Even intellectually, Mihawk didn't technically need Koby.
But something was steadying about him otherwise. Something for Mihawk to concentrate on than the abstract idea of figuring this place out in a matter of seconds. Even he knew it wouldn't be that easy.)

We'll have to find something that suits...both of our needs.
(And just like that, he's subtly making it clear that he intended to just stay with Koby in the meantime. It would make sense.)

Do you feel well enough to move for a while?
