[Rick does have that kind of feel to him, Will's noticed. He's constantly aware of where Eduardo is whenever he's in the same room and hopes that any reports given back to him by his raccoon brethren aren't offensive to the little fellow. He doesn't want Eduardo to have a reason to try and toss him out a window, sees him as a sort of leader figure. In the same way, if anyone in the house were to raise a complaint about Will's presence, he'd listen. Of course he would. But if it came from Rick, it would feel a little more like...well, actually getting in trouble. Despite the fact of the matter that whatever age difference Will and Rick had honestly couldn't be much, it didn't matter. It would still be like getting scolded by the human Eduardo and he would still pay him extra attention for it. That Rick laid down the law and April listened isn't surprising.
Though he's not sure if April's gotten the same story Will did. And if she did get said story, she probably didn't ask the same question. The same, possibly TMI question.]
Hey, buddy. [Raccoons in Will's lap not only get an immediate view of his cards, they also get physical affection. Tickled necks and ears wiggling due to being scratched at the base of them, how could they ever sell him out? Too bad he doesn't care if they do. It's just cards. And if he covers up one of his cards so that the raccoon can't see, then what? What now, Clammy Shitbreath? It's a family affair, even when the kids are gone or hostage.] Benefits can be pretty good, pay's decent if you get into certain parts of it and know what you're doing. Watched my father and most the guys he worked with struggle to make ends meet, move around without any sense of security. Didn't seem too appealing. I've got my own home, got a barn, got my own land. Never woulda gotten any of that if I did the boatyard hop.
[Which really, boiled down to someone who's not completely aware of his empathy disorder, sounds like one thing, doesn't it? One thing that has him pulling a face.]
