'They had a pool going.'

Which he had suspected for a long time as well. It doesn't bother him, even if they should have had better things to do. It's just normal station behaviour, as far as he's concerned.

'She said Ray won. Or would've. She looked a bit sick about the whole idea, actually.'

Which is weird to him, but whatever. He hasn't really understood what they had, so he doesn't expect anyone else to get it either.
