Cassidy had called the drone in question earlier that day. After being sure he had no plans, Sparrow was asked to meet her at Door 1.

Lo and behold, she was waiting there for him.

Sparrow was certainly curious. Cassidy had his attention, though that was nothing new. Being unsure of what to expect, and knowing that they were going to the door, he dressed slightly more casual. Worn jeans with natural fade and a long sleeve turtle-neck in navy with a stripe on each side that went from the neck to the shoulders then down the arms. One of the elbows was patched, showing some love on the worn item.

"Hi. Mind if I come in?"

Sparrow, with his hair still damp from a recent shower, smiled a little bit. "You're always welcome in!"

Recovery had taken just a bit longer than expected, but the doctors had wanted to be sure that his motors were functioning fully. Sparrow had to smile as he walked the halls toward the classroom, notes in his folder with a notebook and some pencils and pens.

He waved to a few people that waved to him, excited a bit to be back.

Sure he felt bad about some stuff that happened... But it had to happen. Sitting in his seat, he looked to the little journal tucked in with his school items. There were memory gaps... But it was mostly in his education and some bits and pieces regarding Chick.

He sighed, a bit heavy, before he tucked the journal back away and looked up to the front of the class.

Out stepped Cassidy, wearing red silk pajamas and with her hair messy. She yawned as she stepped out of the hall, wiping the sleep out of her eyelights.

Was she too asleep to notice Sparrow?

Sparrow was eating cereal on the couch, the television turned to something at a low volume that he wasn't really paying attention to. He was still pretty tired, though he did turn his head to say hello when he heard steps.

"Hey," she started, voice small and cracked. Had she been crying?

"Can I come in?"

Mari was the one to open the door. She was dressed casual, likely home from work for a day off. Seeing Cassidy, she smiled for a moment before taking the girl's state in.

"Oh dear! Yes yes, come in come in! Sparrow! Start some tea please?" The woman was polite and gentle, moving so that Cassidy could come in while gently reaching out to help her with her bags.

Sparrow peeked out of his room, and seeing Cassidy, he moved to do what he was told.

It was certainly her, but she looked different. Gone were the black disassembler arms and legs she usually had, with plain wrung worker limbs taking their place. Her clothes were the same as usual, but looked bigger on account of the height she'd lost, now being around Sparrow's height, if not a little shorter.

She looked around, holding an arm as she carefully walked to her desk, almost appearing to be slipping as if on ice.

He blinked a couple times as he saw her. Cassidy... It was her. He was certain that was her. By now, it was like... a gut feeling. Sparrow just knew Cassidy. The fact her limbs were different was trivial. She was still the same pretty drone, even if the confidence was taking a back seat at the moment...

Sparrow was up early. Today was special. He smiled as he cooked, for once beating his Auntie to the punch! A nice breakfast, juice and hot food, two plates of it! He set the table, and left a note as he heard his Aunt's door close.

"Auntie! I'll be back in a bit!" He smiled brightly, heading out to handle a little errand.

Said little errand happened to be sneaking a gift to the moms he knew. A flower or a little box of chocolates for Uzi, Lizzy, Jasmine, M, Harlow, and of course Brianna. He used his powers of childish mischief for good, ringing the doorbells and running off before he could be seen. His name was on the from card, but he had houses to visit and someone special to text.

And probably save? Jonah was Jonah after all.

[Thunderbird04] Hey Cassidy, sorry I didn't ask before, but are you busy by any chance? [Thunderbird04] Oh, and Happy Valentine's day!

The room had been decorated, at least minorly, in an attempt to raise spirits and cheer up the patient within. Sparrow was watching one of the hanging bat decorations above spin around. Back and forth, shining here and there when the light caught it right.

"Here dear." He looked down, meeting his Aunt's gaze as she had sat next to him. The woman had been coming and going as needed, a small bag of items being brought with her to hold her over for a bit. Her hand was holding something out, one of those pre-decorated paper bags you filled with candy so everyone was included without issue.

He took it from Mari, blinking in confusion as she smiled and motioned that he opened it.

His favorite candy bar, and a king size too! A little smile spread across his face, the first in a little while. Being in the hospital had really dampened his spirits, especially as the doctors kept up their poking and prodding so they could plan the surgery properly.

Remembering brought a pang of fear through his core, something unrelated to the nurse stomping by and muttering about someone disobeying doctor's orders again.

"Sparrow... sweetie..." Mari reached out and held his hand, letting him look at her. "You'll get better. I know you will. You're a strong young man-"

"Imma-a-a teen -tie." Sparrow frowned at the stuttering. He really wished they'd do something about the voice issue, but the fact it might have linked to his head...

"Still a young man! You'll be fourteen next year!" She held his hand, smiling warmly. It made him smile lightly again. "You're making friends! In a club! And when you get home..." She took a deep breath.

"We'll be a family. Just you and me. I promise my little fledgling." A hand reached up and rubbed the good side of his face as he blushed. His Aunt was so kind... She worked so hard...

"Be... car-ul Aun-e." He held her hand back before moving to put the candy bar in the little drawer nearby. He didn't want to eat it now.

"I will my dear... I just have a stop to make first." A kiss was pressed to his visor, away from the fractures and damage, before she stood up and brushed off her skirt. "Now... do rest please." She turned to head out. "And I'll be back with my laptop and a movie. That way we can really enjoy the holiday while in here."
