[Neal answers as soon as he's conscious and has a chance to see his communicator, which isn't until about three days after the whole Sword Curse Thing.]
[ Kendall's had about three days to stew and calm down. Three days. He's done neither. In fact, by the time Neal actually shows up, he's maybe worked himself up a little more. He'd been mostly groggy and disoriented with the death toll, worse than any hangover he's ever had for sure, but as it starts to fade he'd had no excuses to ignore how he feels about the whole thing. And how he feels is majorly fucking pissed off.
He's pacing back and forth in Norton's cabin when Neal finally shows up, more intense by a mile than he's been since he even showed up on the barge at all. ]
So – so what's the fucking – protocol for this? For when someone fucking – like, fucking literally kills another person?
[Kendall doesn't know him well enough yet to catch the way strain and tension pull at the corners of his mouth and eyes, the little tells to indicate how very upset he is.]

[It's always been strange to him how other people being upset seems to calm him down. But it's also always been advantageous.]
All right. That's a start. I asked Norton to give us a bit. I'm going to pour us drinks and we're going to go through it. Have Raylan or Roman been in touch while I was out?
oh dear
STAY AT NORTON'S I'll be there in five.
