[He's missed a lot of things, and he knows it. Didn't have to keep up with whatever was going on in the castle to understand that much - not that he hadn't tried, but being a snow leopard for pretty much half the month of July had proven to be quite the distraction for him.

So when he finally woke up and discovered that he was not, in fact, covered in fur, Rookie gave a grateful sigh before carefully pushing off his bed to get reacquainted with walking around on two legs again - after putting on some clothes first.]

[Friends, and people he's had interactions with during his loss.]

[Some time later, once he decided to get into his armor and make sure that everything was as it should be, the ODST would eventually grab his journal off the floor and place it down on the table nearest him. There's a couple sounds of him fiddling around with his VISR system, given the digital beeps from his helmet, before he takes this moment to start speaking into the open book.]

Hey. [A pause as he absentmindedly rubbed the back of his neck, half-surprised to hear his own voice and not the feline growling he had grown accustomed to. Strange how that worked out.] This is Rookie. For those of you that didn't know, I was a snow leopard for the past three weeks... but I'm happy to report that I'm finally myself again.

[Then silence as he tries to think of what else to say, before he eventually shrugs and moves on to the next filter.]

Thanks for keeping an eye on me, for those of you that did. [He gives a soft, friendly chuckle.] Just hope I wasn't too much trouble.

Rookie

There are many things I could say in response to that, but I'll just stick with "welcome back."

I'm sure you could. [] But thanks.

Rookie

No problem, Smiles.

Any time, Rookie. I just want to know why everyone else gets to be predators, and I have to be a damn panda.

York

[odst-mute.livejournal.com]

Never asked to be a leopard, York.

[]

But I don't see anything wrong with being a panda. They're usually pretty big, right?

Rookie

[encryptedlock]

Big and they only eat bamboo. At least you got meat, even if it was raw.

Lance Corporal

[Rather amused] You made a decent fuzzball, Lance Corporal.

Lieutenant Commander Kat

[odst-mute.livejournal.com]

Ma'am.

[] Good to know. I guess I'll keep that in mind next time I turn into something else that's just as fluffy.

[Lightly] Hopefully you won't make a habit of it. I can make better use of you when you have opposable thumbs.

I'm just glad I didn't hear about any incidents between you and Caboose. Not that I was worried about you doing anything to Caboose, but he can kinda be dangerous to people if he decides he likes them.

Enjoying stuff that isn't meat again?

So you've mentioned, although he didn't seem all that dangerous when I ran into him - a bit off, maybe, but... []

Yes, ma'am. For the most part, but I don't think I'll be having steak anytime soon.

It's a nickname people normally know me by, so I'm only sticking with what works.

<3!

If you have the choice, some nicknames are meant to be left behind.
