[ Not once in all sixteen grand years of his life had he ever had someone try to take care of him the way Chuck offers to take care of him. He was a wolf by nature, born into this life, and his dad made sure he knew it. There was no coddling, no kiddie-pool to dip one's toe into, no training wheels. Casey was expected to follow his alpha without question, unceasingly brave and smart enough to survive full moon after full moon.
He did it. He did it without question, hiding the hurt and the pain of shifting, hiding his reluctance to follow in his father's footsteps when he and his sister were groomed to be the next alpha if anything happened to their pack leader.
So it's a little unnecessary to have a care package waiting for him.
But that doesn't mean Casey doesn't appreciate it.
In fact (though Casey would never tell anyone this), he listens to Chuck's message at least a couple hundred times, face growing warm, smile growing wide, heart growing three sizes bigger. It's kind of the nicest things anyone's ever done for him.
When the night is over and Case, exhausted to his bones, returns to his dorm room, the first call he makes is to Chuck. He hopes it isn't too early to start calling her.
Do phoenixes sleep? Of course they do, that's a stupid question. Maybe this was a bad idea.
