If asked, he would have said it was the furthest from stupid. He didn't even have a Gift but getting his hands back on his guns felt like some part of him had been returned to his own care. What that said about him was up for discussion.

He smiled softly at the light, forever amazed, but he had to glance around to make sure no one was staring at them too hard.

"Back at full power, eh Songbird?" Raylan squeezes their hands and stands up. "I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but since we don't have anythin' like the Gift here, just don't go advertising what you are. I might work for the government, but that doesn't mean I trust them."

Squeezing her hand again, Raylan let go and closed the door, walking around the back of his car to slide into the drivers seat and turn the engine over. "We tell the hospital that you're my niece. You fell into a bonfire while.. I dunno, tryin' to jump over it. Dead parents and you're spendin' the summer down here in the country to recover. It'll work enough for the paperwork."

Why yes, he was already planning how they were going to get around each upcoming roadblock, and ruthlessly so.

Hope it's okay for him to lie to other People Athena because he was going to, but all in the name of keeping her safe.
