I hope that's the case...

.. I don't mean to give you the shovel talk here Will, but I do happen to have a very specific set of skills and it's not a jump to wonder if Malcolm's world is the same as my own. Or yours but that's beside the point. With the Admiral around, ya know... Where there's a will, there's a way.

He told me a bit about y'alls plans when he came to check up on me. I think it's a good one, generally.

You don't have to worry...although I'm glad Malcolm's got people who will. I just want him to be happy. [ Will chuckles, remembering his last conversation like this. ] Neal gave me the Talk, too. Promised to make me miserable if I hurt him, which is fair.

Malcolm talked about future plans with you, though? The traveling idea? [ Will's eyes light up. ] I didn't expect him to be that excited.

He's behind me in line. But that's good, that sentiment. [Anything other than Happy and Shotgun conversations would happen. Scarier than shovel talks, in Raylan's opinion.]

He seemed to have a worry that if you guys visited before you graduated that you might not ever want to come back to finish the job. I think any fraction of a happy, quasi-normal life is exciting for him. Which is a good thing. Guy deserves a little of that for himself. You do too, even if I'm not familiar with your story.

[ Ah, so Malcolm hasn't told Raylan- probably very few people, then- about the real reason he's here. What he's avoiding back home, even if it's temporary. Well, Will certainly isn't going to out him right now. ]

I don't think we'll ever hit 'normal,' but quasi-normal honestly sounds perfect. Maybe I'll even manage to teach him how to fish, one of these days.

And- you ever want my story, I'll tell you. Over whisky, though, because we'd both need at least one drink to get through that. Roman kept refilling my glass when I went into more detail.

He might take some pleasure in guttin' 'em. Not a bad idea.

And I would like to hear it. Your story. Once shit's settled down though, once everyone's recovered. Couple of different places to do it too, dependin' on what you're feelin'. I'm partial to porches in fields myself, but that's bias.

Porches in fields...that's my favorite place to chat. And drink. Just add some dogs, and it might as well be heaven.

Just let me know when you'd like to talk. I haven't been here long enough to know what's 'settled down'- other than people I know being out of the infirmary, I suppose.

It is the prime spot for lazy dog days.

I can reach out in a couple days? Maybe four or five, give Malcolm time to recoup, let you leave without worry.

Sure, I appreciate that. Just let me know. And no rush- I'm aware there's constantly a new crisis around here.

Yeah if somethin' comes up, let me know. I'm tryin' to stay out of them, myself. Anyway, soon enough.

Thanks.
