"Good news is that it ain't required knowledge." The words were interchangeable with a handful of others, depending on their home level of built society, so Raylan was generally confident that people would get the basic structure. Everyone's got some kind of government.
"Seven years, huh? Lotta hell can get packed in seven years." Which was to say, he could see how young Eren was. Raylan, by contrast, looked late 30's despite his being 43, salt only just really starting to invade his temple and the maintained ghost of a goatee. He's seen a lotta young faces touched by terrible shit - the mines, abuse or a war, just about equal over - and no matter how he felt about his veteran daddy, it wasn't right to malign everyone by assuming they'd all be in some way like Arlo.
He was gonna have to chew on the implied 'Aliens' for a minute though. Plenty of time to get up into the house and survey the damage. Expression betraying none of his opinions on how a house should be kept, he tries a different angle.
"Window's got it's benefits in heatin', ya know. And defense, when it comes to visibility with cover. How much sun does this side of the house get? That'll prolly determine what's better towards keeping you warm." Eren may not care about aesthetics but generally, Raylan's found soldier types respond well to logic. That and he didn't mind when holes in thought were pointed out.
