Raylan's hand slides down to settle on Neal's thigh after he's done shifting and takes a sip of his wine, humming a little at the taste on the back of his tongue. It's not bad. They'd get back to wine in a few minutes though.
"He knows where to cut." It was the surprise of Malcolm cutting him that what really hurt. The cuts themselves he could handle. Worse had been said about him. He already knew he could manage alone if he needed to. Hurt, he could handle. Some people couldn't.
His expression pinches as Neal talks, nodding a little in understanding. It was something to consider, but he generally likes Will. Hasn't seen anything that would suggest he shouldn't, but maybe Neal had seen something else.
But the question of clarification was an important one. Raylan studies Neal's face and internally wars over if he should say anything. But Malcolm had decided to be open about it, so it should be okay. Instead of saying it though, he lifts his hand and makes a claw as he says- "The-" Rawr. "Thing."
