[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.]

[UNSC Filter - excluding Meta.]

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.

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

Rookie

[emit.livejournal.com]

No problem, Smiles.

So what have you been doing while I was running around on all fours?

Rookie

[emit.livejournal.com]

Running around on twos. Not much else.

Kallen

[odst-mute.livejournal.com]

[] Good to hear you've been keeping busy.

[] But I take it that means you've been staying out of trouble?

Rookie

[emit.livejournal.com]

[Oh, very funny there armor dude.]

Yes, yes I have.

Kallen

[odst-mute.livejournal.com]

[]

Glad to know.

Rookie

[emit.livejournal.com]

I'll have you know, back home, I did a lot of the saving. [She is not mentioning that time she got captured.]

Kallen

[odst-mute.livejournal.com]

[]

Never said I was doubted that, Kallen. [] Just didn't see the harm in asking.

Rookie

[emit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, okay, the inquiry's appreciated. Sort of.

[She sighs a bit, then changes the subject.] Hey, while you're back to normal, how interested would you be in learning about the mechanics of my world?

Kallen

[odst-mute.livejournal.com]

[]

Interested enough. [] You mean your giant flying robots or just your world in general?

Rookie

[emit.livejournal.com]

They're called Knightmare Frames, and yes, those. Plus, not all of them fly.

Kallen

[odst-mute.livejournal.com]

Then sure. [] You have one tucked away somewhere, or should I be sitting down taking notes?

[]

Rookie

[emit.livejournal.com]

Trust me, if I had the Guren here, you'd have seen it by now. I do have a pretty detailed model of it, though!

Kallen

[odst-mute.livejournal.com]

[] Guess that's close enough.

You coming here, or do you have another location in mind?

Rookie

[emit.livejournal.com]

My room work for you? The model's accurate, but it's also pretty fragile.

Room 1011.

Kallen -> Action!

[odst-mute.livejournal.com]

[]

That's fine. Be up in a minute.

[]

Action forever

[emit.livejournal.com]

[The door's closed, but unlocked. Rookie will hear a voice call out.] S'open!

[When he goes inside, he'll see the familiar redhead sitting on the floor with a decent sized model in front of her. There are also a few books beside her.]

:D <3

Looks like I'm in for a history lesson. []

[emit.livejournal.com]

[She can't see the smile thanks to the visor, but that doesn't stop her from offering a wave and one of her own.]

For lack of anything better to do, yeah, you are.

[odst-mute.livejournal.com]

[]

Is that what you fly?

[]

[emit.livejournal.com]

[A nod as she glances over at him.]

Wouldn't you be more comfortable out of the armor?

[odst-mute.livejournal.com]

[]

It's not as bad as it looks. [] And I don't have much reason to complain, since I'm use to wearing it often enough anyway.

[]

Unless you want me to change into something more casual.

[]

[emit.livejournal.com]

Whatever you're comfortable in works. It was just a question, anyway.

[Snicker.]

[odst-mute.livejournal.com]

Reminds me of a toy. [] How long did it take you to make it?
