Sounds like Raylan and he can't help smiling a little bit.

"We got off on the wrong foot when I got here. Apparently, there was a version of me on the Clipper and we... didn't see eye to eye, I guess. But after the breach, he found me kind of... easier to take, I guess. That's not weird. In general, it takes people time to warm up to me. My mentor Gil says I'm an acquired taste."

"I've never heard a single good thing about the Clipper. Of the three, the Brigantine was definitely the least awful for me, so I'm glad I was on it. So was Sweeney, who I was close to but not permanently paired with yet. And Tim Stoker. And Shaun and Becks, from my world." God, Maggie misses Becks. She hadn't lived it yet at the time, but her latest trip home gave her the memory of lying in a hospital bed, Becks kissing her forehead on the way out the door. And never making it back.

As far as acquired tastes... "Sometimes it's like languages. Some people we meet already speak our language fluently, and some very much don't, and it takes awhile to stop talking at cross purposes. And if the gulf is too wide, 'stop' signals get missed, and feelings get hurt, and then there's a mess to deal with."

Hence, her interactions with Malcolm before they tried to fix things.

"Sometimes I feel like the only person speaking a language that nobody else understands," Malcolm tells her. "Or... I did until I met Will. He always got it."
