Yeah... one step at a time.

[Casey takes a few more deep breaths. He doesn't want to push anything with his dad or make things harder for him. Life has been hard enough for the last several decades, and he deserves rest. Just... maybe not the kind of rest sensei had been expecting, after dying. (Casey definitely wants the opposite of that.)

He does have other reasons to feel anxious about all of this, but it's not something he can talk about over the phone with his (supposedly) sleeping sensei a few feet away. This is enough to settle him a little bit, though, and it'll carry him for a while.]

Thanks, Mom. I really needed the reminder.

[ruevealing]

And you know that I am happy to remind you.

[Truth be told, the whole situation is so complicated as is, Rue isn't surprised in the slightest there is more that goes unspoken. There's just so many layers to all of this!]

Why don't you come by the shop tomorrow afternoon and I'll close up early, if you're up for it.

[apuckalypse]

Mm. [Just hearing it makes him feel immensely better, actually.] Tomorrow sounds- amazing. I wanna see you.

[He just can't bring himself to leave today and sensei's already overwhelmed and exhausting so visits are out. But Rue gets exactly what he needs. How did he get such an understanding mom?]

You're the best, you know?

[ruevealing]

I'm only the best because I have the very best family surrounding me. We bring out each other's best selves.

Now, if anything else comes up, just call. I'll be right by my relic all night.

[apuckalypse]

We do.

[No question about that at all.]

I will, promise. But don't stay up, I think I'm just gonna get him some food and crash. I love you!
