It was boring as hell. He couldn't go on missions, because his legs and lower body were still being kept numb to keep him from hurting himself further (which, admittedly, he would probably do.) Everyone had just come back from what looked like a wet a** mission, and that meant everyone was locked away, sick, refusing to tell him what happened. Even Petra was out on her own mission, as usual. It was maddening.
So the first thing Robert decided was to try and find someone who could relate. This wasn't his best idea, as he was probably failing to realize the touchiness of the matter. But he showed up at the Mist Lounge, and instead of knocking, just rammed into the door a few times.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are.."
He could have probably just opened the door. But he didn't.
