Neal hums thoughtfully. "With Malcolm, I think it's also that he processes out loud a lot if not most of the time. People take his statements as judgements instead of his attempt to understand and relate. They think he's rude or arrogant or assumptive when he truly doesn't get the emotional part that well. He gathers data through call and response. He has to have logical frameworks before he can handle emotional ones. He wants to understand, he wants to relate, but his way of going about it is directly opposed to how most people are socialized to do the same thing."

He gives Raylan's jeans a gentle tug. "And as for you... I hope you have at least a few people you let tend to the bruises the others don't see."
