[Ray falls for it, hook, line and sinker. One would think he'd have caught on by now but Fraser just does the innocent act so well. And yet even if Ray hadn't fallen for it, even if he knew he was being played, he'd have still come to the same outcome. Leaving Fraser to go it alone wasn't an option.
No good seemed to come for letting the Mountie do his own thing. Sure there were times when Fraser could save the day by himself, but then there were the time where he gets kidnapped by psychotic, trigger happy jewel thieves, or gets beaten in back alleys by thugs. There's no way that Ray ever wants to see a beaten up Benton being dragged back to the station ever again.]
Familiarity? Totally already over that, Fraser. You and me got that down. I know you, you know me. That's why we work. Partners.
Done. Next issue.
[If there's any other 'familiarity' Fraser may mean, Ray's choosing not to register it. He's just leaning back in his chair, angling himself so he can thump his boots up onto the desk in front to kick back and relax.]
