*mutters* I should just give in and watch HCL already, huh? But I'm too chicken about the whole goat thing... o_O
I liked this a lot - Ray contemplating how maybe "Canadian" doesn't mean what he's come to think it means, and that *he* is the one with real insight into Joe. It's a kind of logic that Ray utterly understands, and then you dovetail it perfectly with his retreat back into himself when Fraser hops on the clue bus and tries to reassure him.
The whole thing is very understated, and you nailed it exactly with this exchange:
“But an individual doesn’t have just one motivating force driving them through their day. Such dependency would be unwise.”
Ray gave a little one-shoulder shrug. “Sometimes, Fraser, you don’t got a choice. It’s just the way that it is.
