[Being back in Arizona is every bit as weird as Keith had been anticipating it to be. Virtually everything about the place is exactly as he remembers it, but the familiarity of it isn't a comfort as much as it is a reminder of just how unhappy he was here. It;d been tolerable when he didn't have a better state of mind to compare it with so fresh in his mind, but as he waits out by the park in Platt City for James to be finished with his dinner, it's hard not to think about how all the things he'd really missed about being back here could be counted on one hand.
Or perhaps that's just how he feels when left to his own devices with nothing to do but wait. It's almost a relief when his phone vibrates and pulls him out of his head.]

[He gets up and hops back on his dad's old motorcycle, pulling on his helmet. It's definitely a lot easier to feel like he's NOT having an out of body experience in his hometown when he's around James or when he's at his dad's place and Cosmo doesn't have to be wearing his husky disguise. Or when there's nothing but him and stretches of desert canyon to speed his way through like nothing else matters.
But for now it's still Platt City with cops waiting to hand out speeding tickets. Keith makes his way to the restaurant where James had been eating dinner with his friends (...the crowd that had once looked down their nose at him and probably still would -- but he's not going to think about that. As indicated he shows up about 15 minutes later, give or take.]
