*The official explanation is that Rodimus ate something that didn't agree with him; the fact that said something was a product of the Nexus being on a need-to-know basis. Regardless, he's been temporarily relieved of duty while he recovers

*'Boots is sitting in a nearby corner, within visibility but out of the way enough to ignore. She's not letting Roddy out of her sight until he goes back to normal*

[giri_guy]

*Rodimus turns his head, blinking sleepily, wondering if asking his friend a question would be out of bounds of "lie down and rest and don't worry".* Hey, 'Boots?

[apprentice_lurk]

*instantly looks over, optics searching his out* Yeah?

[giri_guy]

*soft smile*

There's... something wrong with me, isn't there?

[apprentice_lurk]

*her voice as cheerily irreverent as usual, but there's a brief hesitation before she replies* Depends on what you mean by 'wrong', love. You needed a break, is all.

[giri_guy]

Mm. *nods and goes back to staring at the ceiling* *sigh*

So are you making sure I take one? *slight grin*

[apprentice_lurk]

*hint of a grin herself* Depends if you're plotting to run off and swim the Channel or something. I'm just keeping an eye on you.

[giri_guy]

*cranes head up* Swim the Channel? *then remembers he's supposed to be resting and lies back down again with a sigh*

Thanks.

[apprentice_lurk]

...Don't tell me you were considering it. *facepalms, mentally kicking self in the head*

No worries. *grins at him, then tilts her head* ...Bored?

[giri_guy]

I wasn't until you suggested it. *teasing grin*

...Very.

[apprentice_lurk]

Aaaagh. And I suppose if I mentioned pink elephants you'd want to go find one of them as well, hmm? ;P

...bleh. *props her chin in her hands* Okay, what do you want to do? ...Within reason. :P

[giri_guy]

*idly* Depends. Do you want me to find you a pink elephant?

*promptly* Something useful. *pauses, then speaks again, sounding more like himself* I feel like an idiot lying around here doing nothing.

[apprentice_lurk]

The state you're in now? Nah. Besides, I like purple better than pink. ;)

Huh. *thinks* I don't know if I can find something useful-useful, other than paperwork, and you're not cooking your brains with that just yet. Medics orders, I think, or at least they sound like 'em enough to get out of it. *impish grin*

[giri_guy]

*chuckles* I'll remember that.

*sighs* I know. Rest until my systems repair themselves, or whatever it was they said I was doing to myself. *smiles* At least I can talk to you.

[apprentice_lurk]

Pink is one of those colours I have to be in the mood to like. I don't mind it most of the time, but- yeah. ^_^;; Saw too many adverts for girls' toys when I was a kid, blah.

*grins back at him* Hey, if it helps... If you want something to do, though, I could probably find something.

[giri_guy]

*cheerily* I never saw any advertisements for toys until three years ago. I still don't get color associations real well.

*ducks his head* Don't go to any trouble or anything... but... well... *fidgets and grins* ...crayons?
