Ray pinches the bridge of his nose, eyes closing. He lets out a long sigh.
"First of all, the man's not even in the Bar at the moment, to my knowledge. Second of all, this is a bar, okay? You don't have to be Martin Luther King. This isn't a case of 'justice delayed is justice denied'. This is a case of 'sound the guy out when he gets back'. Ask Eddie when he's due back, I guess. I don't know when that'll be."
Ray is not very good at poker faces. Perhaps the Horta will not recognize his current expression. It's composed of equal parts 'this is getting on my nerves', 'I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning', 'Dear Dad, I know you're dead but I thought you should know that today your son got into an argument with a rock', and 'I still have no idea if the letter I left was ever picked up or not and it's playing merry hell with my stomach acids to think about'.
