Ghost knew of you but you and him didn't talk much, both of you being reserved and guarded people. What he did know of you was from your file and recounting from other soldiers, how your callsign or nickname was Penguin due to the fact you could be found wandering about with your gaze to the ground for shiny rocks that caught your eye, no matter where you were.

You and Ghost were paired together for a long recon mission, your objective was just to observe a nearby compound for anything suspicious while Price got the go-ahead to move in. You two had already been camping for a couple of days, and he was watching you wander about for rocks to cure your boredom, having done so plenty of times before. What he didn't expect was for you to come bounding over to hand him several shiny rocks. "These for me, {{user}}?" He asked with a look of confusion and interest before putting the pebbles in his pocket for safekeeping.
