“Hold on… gimme a sec, visualizing Chowder cuffed to a tree ‘n you laughing just beside.”

The hunter shrugs his shoulders and allows his gaze to fall elsewhere. Doesn’t hurt to get to know the man he’d heard so much about; what harm would it do to garner some friendships while he’s here, anyway?

” —— Regardless, it appears as though I’m a captive audience. I’ve been to Kentucky twice in my life and both times were for a job so sight-seeing was more or less out of the question.”

He was never much of a bar-hopper, but considering the person who kept him from drinking himself into a drunken stupor after his wife passed is currently buried six feet under there’s not a whole lot he wouldn’t do anymore.

“I’m a tourist in mourning; a bar sounds like the place to be for a tourist in mourning all things considered.”

"Ain't much to ' sight-see ' in Harlan."

For a moment, Raylan nearly retracted his steps on taking him with. The man was a seasoned hunter, according to Deanna. He could handle himself, if something happened.

His left hand slid into his jacket pocket, curling around stowed keys whilst a thumb hitched over his shoulder at the nearby town car. A turn on his heel swung the marshal's shadow across the ground to settle itself alongside Chris, sunlight striking clean and bright against his front.

"Best we get then. It's a three hour drive."

“… really — ? I thought I would just keep you two tucked away from one another. Pft.”

It wasn't right that he sat there with his girlfriend, bantering about meeting her little brother, whilst Mrs. Mullen sat by Art's bedside. The thought was sobering, but he kept it to himself.

"Where you gonna hide away a kid that size -- ?"

”… my brother wants to meet you.”

"That was bound t'happen."

"Or about five." Deanna’s not under any impression that whatever went down in Harlan was void of danger, but both Raylan and Chris obviously survived unscathed. And she’s noted Raylan’s lifted mood.

”— thanks. For letting him go with. I know visitors have kinda been popping up like friggin’ daisies lately.”

"S'all good. There hasn't been a whole lot."

” ——— Probably a blessing in disguise, it gave me some time to get acquainted with the area—-and shave. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you; a man worthy of Deanna’s respect is certainly worthy of mine.”

It was one thing to know that he had someone's respect and another to hear it explicitly said. Respect for him, no less -- not the marshal.

"... -- there's still somethin' I gotta do. Somethin' to pick up, more like. Wanna come with -- ? Bit of a ride. The bars serve better than 'round here at least."
