This whole 'having a seal' thing is kind of starting to baffle Danny. He knows that he's not keeping the thing as a pet, but the animal keeps showing up on the rocks near shore and barking at him in the morning, prompting the dog to bark back. Right now, Danny's dragging thick rocks from the shoreline towards the ocean to try and build up some kind of little palatial paradise for the seal.

And he's trying to tell himself that he is not allowed to put khakis on the thing so it better resembles its namesake.

Zulu and the seal are having a goddamn barking contest and Danny swears he's getting a migraine by the second. He pinches the bridge of his nose and looks between the two. "You're gonna drive me crazy," he informs the animals. "You know that?"

Rachel makes a show of checking out his hip and ass before giving it a hearty pat. "I noticed. And kind of the same, you know. Raylan and I are doing better, I still flinch sometimes when he moves too quick at me. It'll fade."

"Still, huh?" Danny murmurs quietly, giving her a more serious look. He can joke and joke to his heart's content, but honestly, there's some things that he doesn't fool around with and this is one of them. "How bad was it? I don't think I ever asked."

"I don't know," she hedges, shrugging uncomfortably. "It wasn't him, in the end. But I thought it was at the time. I thought I had been that wrong and you were in the hospital and I just...I thought everything had gone to shit just like I always think it will. He beat the shit out of me. And I thought it was my husband. Think we should just all write off the end of last year."

"I'd like to say that's a good idea, but someone once taught me that repression is bad for me," he says. "I think it was my therapist after the whole ex-Rachel debacle, but seeing as I tried my best to blur out that whole thing, it could've been the milkman for all I know."

"Yeah, well, I really don't want to work through getting beaten up by Raylan," she points out. "I choose repression. Repression has gotten me far in life."

"Just remember that I advised you to seek a therapist to talk to about this," Danny points out, since that sort of stuff can eat through your best defenses, even if you don't want it to.
