[Backdated slightly to this morning.

York wakes up not only on the floor but in a completely different room than where he was before. There's a moment of panic - it looks entirely too much like something from home to be recognizable as the castle immediately - but as always Delta is there in his mind, reassuring him. Yes, he can still access the CastleNet, and look around a little. This is Noble Six's room.

The question then becomes why is he in Noble Six's room, and how did he get there? And why is his journal mostly blank?]

Hey there, castle. It's me, and I seem to be back to normal now. So. What kind of loss was I on and for how long?

[UNSC filter, sans Maine]

And what the hell is going on with the journals?

[Okay, he wasn't saying anything, but he wasn't closeing the book either. Maine pauses for another long moment before continueing.]

Sorry.

[God it sounded so trite. Words weren't his forte, and in any other normal circumstance he probably wouldn't have said anything at all. This was nowhere near normal.]

[encryptedlock]

[Yeah, no, that totally doesn't cover it. Any of it. Words may cost a little more coming from Maine, but they're still cheap.]

Tell it to the press.

[brute_shot_bully]

[He's aware of that. Before his accident it was a curiosity and he went along with it because Boss Said, but now he's got a much greater understanding. Not that it helps any.]

Want me to? [Would a public apology help? It really wasn't something he wanted to do, so that had to count for something, right?]

[encryptedlock]

[That does make him pause a little.]

To the ones you hurt, at least. Nobody else seems to give a shit.

[brute_shot_bully]

[A short pause. It was something. It was a start.]

Got it.

[Might take him a while to come up with the right words, but he'd agreed to it; he'd go through with it.]

[York gives a short "heh", not actually believing what he's hearing. He'd have to wait and see how this turns out; actions, after all, speak a hell of a lot louder than words.]
