I don't think he even knows how to really fuck with someone. Okay, he's been hot-headed in the past, but he's an overgrown boy Scout.

[ Yes, he still thinks it's Grif, but the chance is looking more distant as Grif refuses to give up the storyline. ]

It's not Rich. Unless the Time Trapper sent him home and picked out a new Rich who just so happens to be fresh off a similar conversation... It's too farfetched to continue. He'd protect Vance. Protecting people like Vance is a compulsion.

[ .... Why didn't Rich do something to cushion the bad news for Vance? Robbie frowns deeply. ]
