( Orion makes the final goodbyes and then they're off. And, just as Rodimus surmised, all he gets is a disapproving look from Orion and a small lecture about responsibility and staying out of trouble but there's no mention of letting Nova know.
Which is why two weeks later Rodimus is out again - very specifically avoiding the area he figures Minimus patrols. It's underground gambling this time, and he doesn't go to make money as much as he does the atmosphere. It's different from the Primal Basilica in that there the celebrations are always about remember the 'old ways' that never really went away. Here, at least, it's about the high that comes with winning. That's something he's always been good at, which is why he's got a hefty pile of Shanix in front of him by the time the police arrive.
Or at least one law enforcement officer arrives, and Rodimus finds himself on the ground, staring up into the one face he really honestly hoped never to see again. Mustache and all. )

You've got to be kidding me.
