[ Ray's smile doesn't flag -- may, in fact, even grow a bit stronger -- at what he takes for self-depreciation, because that is something Ray feels qualified to help with, somehow. He may not remember most of his regular, real life while he's like this in Robbie form, but clearly parts of his upbringing are eerily simpatico with this brainless mindset, so there is plenty of internalized emotion and experience to draw upon. ]

I'll even wrap up some brownies to bring over to y'all once they're done. Y'know I've been bakin' up a storm lately, and it feels like I'm the only one who ever eats it all-- well, the missus is probably just watching her waistline, but...

[ He pinches his side and then winces, immediately regretting the gesture, waving Crowley off instead. ]

And speakin' of brownies, that'll be my cue to go check how they're doing. Drive safe, all right? We'll talk soon!
