[ Nah, you're good Will, he laughs at the ridiculous sinking ghost ship antics of his life too. And the "buddy breathing." All of things which he blames on Fraser.

But dear god, do not sign him up for dating a princess of whereverville, that sounds horrifying. RCMP is enough for him, a duchess would kick him out on his head faster than a Mountie could tie a knot. ]

Fraser does kinda like to throw his full title around, and that adds at least a few more seconds to the whole deal. But I don't even know what word he's using- should probably shake it out of him... If he's even using one. [ Huh. He hasn't had that thought before. ] Could always just call him Fraser of the North.

[A healthy relationship is one where you can blame pretty much everything on each other, it's true. Gold stars all around. Except maybe not with this lack of communication surfacing, how terrible.

Fraser of the North sounds like it belongs on Game of Thrones, though.]

What if he likes using boyfriend?

[Nightmare incarnate!!]

[ Sometimes Fraser and Ray miss the mark on communication, it's true, but hooo boy have they gotten infinitely better at it. They can even talk without talking (they almost never miss the mark anymore) but then things like this pop up....

... it totally does. ]

Then i'll go along with it. Fine with him, I can deal.

[ Because as volatile as Ray can be, he's also 100% easy going. As long as honesty is involved. As long as Fraser's telling him what he needs to hear, then we're all good. ]

[He even has his own direwolf already, the crossover writes itself.

Aw, Ray. What a good sport.]

I'll make sure to keep this conversation between us if I hear you suddenly using it, then.

[Or is he supposed to keep quiet overall??? Because he can do that, too. For stuff like this? Sure thing. Just be like "don't speak, boy," and he'll behave. No treats or head pats necessary.]

[ OH MY GOD it does. Not to mention he almost hooked up with his sister.... Well, Ray tried to hook up with her too but he obviously has a Mountie kink so whatever. ]

Nah, you don't gotta. I mean, maybe not with the calling him up to chat about it, but if it comes up, I can't see him getting too bothered by it. When you tell your partner you're a duet the second day of working with him, you start running out of fitting words real quick.

One'a those... hasn't really changed but is really fucking different.

[ He didn't really mean that in a pervy sense, he promises. Because that's too much sharing. But don't worry Will, he'll let you know if you need to be sworn to secrecy. ]

[For Canada is cold and full of terrors!?!?]

Shit, I'm— [Another short half-snort, half-laugh. Haha calling people up he doesn't know for reasons that aren't bordering on life and death what a hilarious joke.] —not the talking to people for no reason type. At all. Feel I should wish you good luck with getting the conversation going, though.

[It's only pervy if Will makes it pervy!

So he does not make it pervy. Life is great.]

[ AND WILD WILDABEASTS.

... Will why are you laughing, has he done something particularly funny. He's kind of squinting right now because hey now this is a reason! Gosh! This is totally a reason! ]

Hey. Hey! It's a reason, buddy. [ Because Ray is all confused right now and he doesn't want to admit it. ]

Want me to come up with some other topic? Can talk about immigration laws instead, and the government here beating you with sticks for going AWOL, but hey- I figured this one was easier. [ Huff huff, geez Will. Make his life sound stupid and all. ]

[Whoops, has he offended him? Time to zip it, no laughing, nope, no siree, back to taking this is all very very seriously. Super business tone, nothing funny here.

Nothing funny at all, because while Will would like to assume Ray is being sarcastic and whatnot...he does work within law enforcement. It could look extremely bad if their liaison just ignored that. He's supposed to listen, anyway. Will Graham knows full well that not everyone speaks and communicates the same.]

You've been beaten for going AWOL? Or heard about someone who has?

[ Yeaaaaahhhh, no. Offended he is not. Try a little harder, Will. Well. Actually. It doesn't take that much to piss him off, though you could talk to Jeff about what exactly it takes for Ray to punch people in the face. (Quite a lot, actually. Though violence in general is another story.)

And he was going to make some sort of comedic comment just to impress upon the fact that he's not upset or anything but woah, buddy- ]

That's what people're bein doled out with for that? [ His tone is somewhere between 'huh' and surprise. Mainly because Ray doesn't really care much about politics, he bullshits his way around them for the most part. But still. Some things are important to know. ] Thought it was just a thing.

Not as far as I know, but I've heard much more paranoid and completely unfounded theories about this government before.

[He was just trying to do his job, gosh. He's like Special Inspector Gadget, always on duty.]

[ .... when you're considering absconding to Canada because Fraser loves it there more than he will ever love it here, Ray finds these things a little important. But that's super secret. ]

Uhhh huh. Probly worth listening to every once in awhile but yeah, people love making shit grow outta nothing. [ People like Ray, oops. ] I mean, not gonna lie, politics ain't my thing. Went and shocked everyone when I made it to Detective.

[As far as Will knows, it's just shit outta nothing. Then again, he's well aware he'll never have the same level of clearance or even the shot to get there that he did back home, regardless of how many murderers he helps put behind bars. So maybe it's just that one rung out of his reach where he can find the files about AWOL imPorts are, in fact, to get a few stick lashings before they're put back.

Government spankings.]

They really do. [Said in the beaten down sort of agreement that is actual, wearied agreement, not just trying to be polite or not kick up a fuss. People just love making mountains out of molehills, at least some things stay the same whatever universe he ends up in.] You in that work here, too?

[ The Government needs a new kink okay. And Ray would claim that he doesn't so much make mountains out of molehills, it's that the mountain's he cares about are some really big fucking mountains. That need to be defended. With his heated rage. And being allowed to go to Canada will be one of those mountains.

But really, Will, don't sound so haggard. Ray is adult enough to know that this shit sucks but fully aware that talking circles around it won't make you feel any better. It might fix things eventually but perpetuating misery by being miserable is something he's done enough years of his life that he doesn't like to purposefully get on that train. ]

I'm a PI around these parts. If you can call that cop work, then- i'll let you be the judge'a that one. [ He has mixed feelings. But mostly he sounds kind of amused. ]

[Enter into an underground boxing match where the prize is getting to live in Canada without the US government being a butt about it, Ray. You can do this. Misery loves company, though. That's why bars exist, isn't it?]

Depends on what sort of PI work you do, but I know that a lot have some degree of frequent communication with law enforcement. [The ones who work for insurance companies or in a criminal sense probably have more of that than the ones who just, like, stalk people's boyfriends/girlfriends to see if they're cheating, though. Will isn't amused, but his tone is as light as can be without sounding...off. Just talking about normal things, nothing weird here.] I've been consulting with Internal Affairs for about three months now.

[ If he could do that. If he could do that. He would be so proud of himself and it would be the biggest surprise for Fraser and man he would just-- but yeah, bars. Sign him up. Now that Fraser had the chance to get plastered, Ray's pretty sure it's his turn. ]

Fraser'd pop me one before we agreed to do the hunting down of ex-boyfriends and lost cats. I'd probably knock myself around a little too, not really my thing. Get down to it, I actually liked being a cop. [ He just sucked at the politics of it. But considering how fast he became a Detective, he managed to prove to at least a few people that he was both good at the job and... cared. ]

You serious? Internal Affairs would'a kicked me out a window if they could've. [ Well, Ray, maybe if you stopped shouting so much........ ]

[Ray goes down in history books! They will remember him for centuries.]

I am. It was as close to my old position as I could get. [Not-FBI for life over here.] To be honest, Internal Affairs is the one that could used with being kicked out a window some days, but you didn't hear that from me.

[Somewhat aggressively tries to relate.

Except really, these guys pay Crane. Give them the boot.]

[ There will only be one small passage about his hair. The rest will be about his accomplishments, yes..... But wow Will, you just made his love for you increase by like. One Hundred. Not that anyone really likes IA but still. It's always one of those things that's nice to hear.]

I'm taking your some days and raising you to every day, but 'parently I got a habit of making people dislike me or something. IA just doesn't appreciate the ah, marke.. metho- [ Methodology is a big word. ] - style.

[Support and love your local police-imPort liaison! That's so sweet, Ray.]

Should I file a complaint about this on your behalf?

[HE'S JOKING]

[ He's just that kind of a person. ]

Make sure you put my address on it huh, see what happens. [ ....... but is he joking. ]

[UNSURE.]

Good thing I don't know your address.

[That's a final statement instead of Will fishing. He doesn't want it, no, don't do it, not in this context.]

So you'd really do it? Send it in, just like that, see what happens?

[ Actually, he's kind of curious. He really doesn't give a shit about going one on one in the ring with IA (or maybe he should... Fraser might save him eventually) but he's ambivalent about handing out his address. Private, much? ]

It's part of my job to pass along concerns and complaints. What happens after that isn't something I can predict, though I'd wager in this case...

[A heavy, long pause, as though Will is seriously needing to think this over...except it's just for drama.]

...they toss it and do nothing. So it's not worth bringing to their attention.

[ Bum bumm bummm.... DRAMATIC REVERB!! Fine, everyone always ruins his fun. A guy's gotta get angry every now and again, okay. Especially if that guy is Ray. ]

Just one less excuse to get in trouble over a fist fight.

[Calm down, Ray, it'll be all right. Take a chill pill. Cook something terrible for Mister Partner.]

Until the next chaotic incident comes along and you might or might not be able to get away with beating the shit out of imPorts and regular people alike, yeah.

[So hopeful.]

[ He doesn't actually beat people up that often! He swears! He's a pacifist! He just makes a lot of threats and punches walls okay, nbd. He just has strong emotions, he can't help it. ]

Hey, hey- I don't beat the shit outta anyone just for kicks. Or, y'know- for anything else.
