He's in this part of town because he's decided to start going to Little Lorenzo's. There's not a lot of call for Lee to be in top physical shape these days— no Viper runs, no ops — but he doesn't have very fond memories of the last time he let himself go to seed, and isn't really looking to repeat it.

Stopping into a coffee shop on the way home, though, mostly for a bottle of water and a sandwich, he spots a familiar face. He hasn't really met the man before now, but Molly's talked about him enough, and he thinks she must have pointed him out a couple of times.

It'd be too frakking weird to see him and not say hello.

"Russell, right?" he says, approaching the other man, who looks pretty okay, for someone who just got shot not too long ago.

The first thing Russell thinks is that he's been caught. That Katie or Molly have discovered he's been going out when he's very clearly not supposed to be up and around just yet and they've sent someone to track him down and drag him back to the apartment. Or worse, the hospital.

So when he hears his name, he freezes, his eyes going a little wide and when he turns in a circle on his crutches, he's debating his options. He could pretend he's someone else, which probably won't work, or make a run for it, which definitely won't work, not in the shape he's in, or just pretend like he had no idea he shouldn't be up and walking around. When he sees who it is, though, his shoulders relax a little and he laughs.

"Yeah, it's Russell," he says. "Lee, right?" Molly's mentioned him, even pointed him out once or twice, but he's never actually met the guy. He should be keeping an eye out for Molly, he thinks, after everything, but he's not exactly in the best shape for it now.
