A big smelly kinda kettle of fish? [He supplied what sat unsaid in the 'ehh' and the ellipsis he'd heard. Raylan takes a deep breath, humming himself with a slight tightening of his lips, and it really didn't take much for them to whiten under the pressure and half disappear.]
Sure as hell puts me in something of a difficult spot, I'll tell you what. But he's got a right to express his opinions how he wants. I can't get in the way of that; that's his Warden's job and I've already stepped on enough toes this month.
[It's not his place to call it a fucking stupid hill to die on, hypocrisy aside, but it's still tempting.]
