WHO: RJ and Casey WHERE: Downtown L.A. WHEN: After this. WHAT: Meeting up, regrouping. RATING: TBD, but most likely PG. STATUS: In progress.
Casey was in Los Angeles and RJ couldn't be happier. One of his Rangers had shown up. Except something was clearly troubling Casey. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, RJ could tell. It was part of being his mentor and his friend.
The conversation via the message board didn't do anything to lessen RJ's worry. In fact, it only increased it. RJ didn't like when one of his students was upset, off balance. Something was wrong and he vowed to get to the bottom of it. He cared too much about Casey to let it go.
"You know I'm not falling for your 'I'm fine' speech, right?" Yes, RJ had a habit of suddenly appearing out of nowhere. It was the whole being a Pai Zhua master and possessing the wolf spirit thing. Yeah.
