[Robert will be very easy to find, as he usually is. He's not exactly enthusiastic to go outside to begin with - snow is just another justification to stay indoors, away from the extremities of temperature.

So he's sitting in his room, at his desk, referencing various texts and typing away enthusiastically with the usual staccato rhythm of his fingertips drumming against the keyboard. That sound alone acts like a locator for the scientist.

He certainly won't mind any attempt to start a conversation with him, though.]

[Don hasn't been in Robert's room since he finished helping with the unpacking. Even since Splinter's disappearance, he's kept to his father's rules.]

[After drifting around the house for a while, looking out all the windows (as though it might only be snowing in some directions), he finally drags himself to Robert's door.]

[And knocks.]

[Almost immediately, Robert stands and goes over to the door, expression somewhere between curiously inquisitive and slightly worried.

He opens the door, half-smiling - mostly because Don looks so serious - when he does.]

... Hello, Don... Did you need something?

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[He's just - going to look at his toes.]

Can I talk to you?

[Voice]

[mistlegacy]

I saw that. Any idea what it's about?

[Voice]

[i_speak_softly]

No idea. It might be like when he was talking to people during the Luceti Valley experiment... though doing that when we're all in our right minds seems a little insane, even for him.

[Voice]

[mistlegacy]

Maybe that's the point, to throw us off our guard.

I don't know if I'll go, though. There's a lot to do at the Welcome Center.

[Voice]

[i_speak_softly]

Or it could mean another experiment is coming already.

I haven't decided yet if I'm going. I haven't had much to say to him in the past...

[i_speak_softly]

Do you think so?

[Who could have done such a thing, pray tell?]

[i_speak_softly]

[Only the event, time and location. Not much to go on. Don was even careful to disguise his handwriting and spell everything correctly.]

I don't think it's funny.

...Pardon me, but who is this 'Bil' person?

voice

[i_speak_softly]

He's also called Catherine. Or maybe Charlotte. The blue man who used to be with the Malnosso.

voice

[4000excuses]

Used to be? Then he is not the one to hold responsible for our capture?

voice

[i_speak_softly]

Depends. How long have you been here?
