Raylan watched the two girls, Wings and that other one, take a look at the knits. He didn't know the other girls name but she reminded Raylan of those emo girls from high school. Raylan wanted to say something scathing but decided against it. He had to play nice and be social. So Raylan kept his mouth shut and his ears open. He heard the emo girl say something about her nails. Was that her power? Finger nails of fury? There was joke about how the mighty had fallen for Finger Nails to be on the team, but his drunk ass was the team as well. Glass houses right?
Raylan walked over to the table on the opposite side of the emo girl and got a good look at the Gordian Knots.
"Turn him to any cause of policy. The Gordian Knot of it he will unloose. Familiar as his garter. Act 1 Scene 1, Henry the Fifth." Raylan said his eyes locked on the knots. He looked around at everyone for a moment before speaking again. He suddenly felt the need to explain why he could quote Shakespeare.
"Rooms filled with classic lit books. One of Frank's favorite punishments. I think it's Dorian Gray this time."Raylan picked one up before trying to figure out a way to use his powers to unravel the knot. He knew he could use his powers on nonmetallic objects but it was never worth the amount of focus and strain needed. It was like nonalcoholic beer. Yeah you can drink it but what was the point?
He looked around at the warehouse for a moment. Was it a lumber mill or just a workshop? Either way it was a place that Raylan wanted to hang out at. He loved places like this but like most things with Raylan, it was a double edged sword. He could keep as busy as mutantly possible, that was huge for maintaining any sort of sobriety. Yet it would it be almost too easy for a bottle to show up here at the same time.
Raylan tossed the knot back and forth in his hands as the wheels in his head turned. He removed himself from the crowd around the table as he thought about the knot. It reminded him of something for Frank once asked him. 'Why is a manhole cover round?' The answer was so obvious that Raylan smacked himself in the head for not thinking of it.
If you can't untie the knot, the only thing to do was to cut it open. Raylan looked around the warehouse for something to cut the knot open but he didn't he really see anything. Then again he wasn't really trying. He was almost sober, but there was huge difference between sober and almost when his powers were concerned.
"If you can't untie the knot, then you have to cut it up."Raylan said with a sigh.
" I'm still feeling last night so I'm out of the doing. Heads up tats, do your Nails of Fury on it and we can move on." Raylan said softly loobing the knot to emo looking girl.
