It was definitely Casey being over paranoid, but when Gael reached out to him, the younger boy flinched. While he didn't have a clear memory of Charlie's party after a certain point, he did remember the pictures Rowan had managed to take. Namely the one where Leon had him by the shirt.

While it was a little weird that he didn't get chewed out for nearly colliding with him, Casey still tried to cover in his answer. Only he rambled just a bit too much. "Yea, yea. I'm fine. I mean, I wasn't watching where I was going as much as I should have been. So it's cool."
