Neal has come a-knocking on Raylan's door, this time calm and cognizant and wondering what the actual hell Raylan will say to him when he realizes it's Neal on his doorstep. He's nervous about it, like he wasn't during the flood, and he wishes briefly that the katydos were back to calm him down and give him a boost of confidence.
He's also very glad they're not.

Hi Raylan. I just wanted to thank you. For helping out last night before it turned into a brawl or something.
[ she isn't sure sending a video message is the right thing to do. not when she had what was coming to her in whatever freak karmaic way it did. so laura sends a text instead. not so much to say 'hey, you were right' but to acknowledge that he did said something to her that's.. stuck. ]
you gave me a lot to think about the other night. that doesn't happen a lot.

[Right after Neal talks to Kendall after their assignment, and right after he talks to the Admiral after that, Neal calls Raylan.]
So I'm actually doing the warden thing. I've got a person. I don't know if you saw, given Roman's... situation.

pls assume he let Raylan know he’d be gone home a couple days
Hey
Just wanted to see when you wanted to talk about magic.
Let me know.

Let me know.
'Are you okay' is a stupid question I'm not going to ask.
So I'm just gonna ask - you need a hug, some support, someone to listen to you vent? I know you've got to be worried as hell right now.
Standing offer, if you're not ready to let her out of your sight yet.

I'm guessing you already have a lot of people saying this but
If you need anything, just tell me.
I've got your back.

I know you probably have a lot on your mind and a bunch of offers already for soundboards, but me and my cabin are here if you need a place to escape.
She tosses and turns on the guest room bed for a while, until it's well past dark, until it's that ambiguous o'clock that's too late to be early but too early to be anything like morning.
Finally she gets up and tiptoes out to sit on her dad's beach in her bare feet and black plaid sleep shorts and an oversized t-shirt with an upside-down panda on it that says That's how I roll.

[ He debates whether he should send this message, but ultimately, his concern gets the better of him. ]
Hey, so.
I know we had some cross words the last time we talked, but...I'm all over the ship a lot with custodial work. So if you want me to keep an eye out for Willa, I will.
You know- not hovering or anything. Just making sure she's okay if I see her.

As I'm sure you've probably had about a dozen liquor cabinets opened to you and at least half as many cabins, I'll go the other direction: if you need a babysitter at some point, to keep her distracted while you have a minute to yourself, say the word.
Did Roman get up to a lot of bullshit when you first got paired or did I just lucky with my inmate? Also, how are you holding up, Daddy Givens?
She dozes through being carried to her dad's cabin, shifting and resettling a couple of times, waking up once, but only enough to register Raylan and drift off again.
She's half-awake when he pulls back the covers on his bed and helps her settle. Not enough to be embarrassed or do more than wriggle her way under the sheets and blanket, settle her face against the pillow, and drift off.
She sleeps pretty much through the night, waking up a good deal earlier than she usually would. For a few hazy seconds she's confused, then registers where she is--and that she fell asleep in her messy wardrobe clothes. Oops.
Willa makes a face and slowly shifts out of bed. She keeps her shorts but steals one of her dad's flannel shirts from the dresser to change into before she emerges, still looking muzzy from sleep.
"How'd I get here?" She doesn't even bother to stop moving and wait for Raylan to answer. Wherever he is, he now has a blonde barnacle.

Audio; Early but not wee hours early, the day after the Will-Avalon incident
Raylan? Are you up?
[Literally the only reason she's doing video right now is that she's pretty sure her dad would want to see her, get visual confirmation she's unhurt. She's still very obviously rattled.]
Hey, dad, I-- I wanted to check in. And make sure you're okay. I am. I was up on deck and someone went a little nuts but-- [But John and Arthur saved her ass?] I'm in Arthur's cabin. He and John were up there too.

[Her voice is tight and worried and breaks a little as she talks.]
Hey, dad, um, I saw-- I saw on the network that it looks like Arthur got hurt. So I'm. Going to see if he's at his place or John's and then maybe probably check the infirmary. Um. Can-- Would-- Can you... come there with me? The, meet me there, the infirmary?

"So, where are we going to eat?" Willa sticks close to Raylan as they navigate the over-the-top Las Vegas/Manhattan wildness of the tourist trap ring, as she's coming to think of it.
She doesn't care. She's a full-on tourist in space, it's awesome. "I tried a bunch of the weirdest looking places already, not like a lot of food, just finger food things mostly, but I can recommend something that you won't make faces at probably."
