It's maybe one of the few times his experience with Oliver Queen's less talkative side is working to Ray's benefit. He and Oliver are fine now, of course; Ray might even call them friends, but their personalities are nothing alike. Oliver prefers not to talk, whereas Ray sometimes can't stop talking, and the clash has given him some stray experience in picking up on certain cues. He's not exactly good at it, but he's not totally oblivious either.
There is however, a certain innocence to way that Ray already trusts Rick, because he doesn't even give a second thought to his own back when he kneels down and fully immerses himself in the blue glow of the pyramid. And he takes Rick's trust for granted too, because he's still new to doing heroics and Ray ... sometimes Ray doesn't remember the lessons he learned in the boardroom when he's out doing good with other people.
"I hope this blue light doesn't suck out my soul or something," he says, smiling and mostly to himself, when he reaches with a gloved hand to pick it up. What an interesting little contraption. The pyramid itself seems to be some kind of container, but given the way it's vibrating Ray can already tell that what he can see is just a shell. This is definitely tech of some kind.
"X-ray scan, please." And as he holds it up, his heads up display begins to scan the device. A few seconds later, he can see inside. It is definitely tech.
"Gimme a second!" he responds back, not quite a full yell but his voice a little louder since he's lost track of how far away Rick is now, and he isn't interested in pulling his focus away from the pyramid. "I wonder if there's some way to..." He's pushing, poking, turning, trying anything to see if it'll unlock.
