A snowball fight would be a full out war if they got everyone involved and honestly, next batch of moonshine, it wasn't a bad idea. Raylan couldn't help but smirk crookedly at the passing far away look on Dean's face behind another sip of his spiked coffee.
The question made him chuckle bitterly. "Mm, no and the world's probably better for it. Arlo is what you might delicately call a drunken stubborn raging asshole. He's pushin' 75 and he's about half as feisty as he was when he was young. Still sittin' in Tramble, a state prison for his millionth count of aggravated assault and robbery."
What he didn't say is what Arlo was like in Raylan's youth or why he referred to all of his family by their government names instead of 'Mom' or 'Dad'. He'd tell if asked, using the same 'How's the weather there' tone, like it didn't really matter. Affably disconnected from the man that raised him. They could have been talking about anything. If they were talking about anything, they didn't have to talk about everything and enough balls could be kept in play to avoid telling the worst of it.
"Your brother do the same thing you and your Dad do, right? Y'all do it together, like a buddy cop team?" Family unity was nice, even if Raylan had never really had what people would call a 'healthy' one.
