"Amen to that." Raylan had begged off moonshine once he'd gotten out of the coal mines; drinking it put him back there, even in Mathis. Another dangerous day topped off with dangerous drink and no idea what the following day would bring them. To say he was glad to be rid of it all would be an understatement.
"Mm, the drive into town is healthy for us both but we are on a farm. We might.. wanna consider usin' it as such, least for some of our own food supplies. Start a vegetable garden or somethin'." Just throwing that out there, having forgotten entirely about the chickens joke. It'd be something they could both tend to and it wouldn't suffer too badly if Doc was left on his own for a few days while Raylan went to do a job.
Raylan could only grin at the wholly correct accusation of taking advantage of Henry in the best way behind another bite of food, eyebrows lifting questioningly at the last statement with an unraveling hum of acknowledgement. Doc might be too polite, but Raylan wasn't and he didn't get as shifty about it as Doc did when it was brought up on its face. "I was hopin' those would have stopped by now. We'll deal with it next time it happens, remind them where their business lies."
Carefully though, so that the could get away with their daughters largely unscathed.
"I know we shook their lives up a little bit, movin' out here together like some sappy western romance or somethin'.. But they gotta accept it for what it is." Eventually. "Until the girls are a bit older, I'm more interested in keepin' the peace."
It was no secret that Raylan worried about Winona taking full custody, condemning his life choices, and trying to keep Willa away from him. For as hurt and surprised as Winona was that the man she didn't want anymore didn't want her, it would seem to everyone else, that she wasn't ready to cut Raylan out just yet.
