[ VIDEO; LOCKED TO THE DEFENSE FORCE ]

Can I have your attention, please? I have a few announcements to make.

First of all, if you haven't already heard Derek Morgan is no longer with us. I'll be stepping in as temporary leader for the Investigative Team until a new leader can be elected — if you're interested in the position, come talk to me or Kitty.

Second, all of you who were assigned to the Investigative Team during our stay in Squall are highly encouraged to file out reports regarding our time there. Anything and everything you can think of, even the most insignificant of details can turn out to be of great use later on.

Data, it'd be great if you could come see me whenever it's convenient.

I'll be at the Defense Quarters HQ all afternoon if any of you need any help or have questions. That's all for now.

[ ACTION; OPEN TO ALL ]

[ True to his word, Reid will be at the Defense Force headquarters all afternoon, working away on his own Squall-related intel and pondering how to best report the rather startling discovery they might've stumbled upon.

Later in the evening he can be found in the education center music room, playing a rather familiar piece followed by the second movement of Beethoven No 8 sonata, Pathetique. A little slow and full of stumbles, but the boy tries. ]

	It did. He used to have pictures in his office of the people he'd helped save... called them his "family". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It sounds nice...and lonely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-04 02:39 pm UTC (link)
	Lonely? [ No, he can see it. He's just curious what she thinks. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're mostly memories, right? Even when they're alive they have their own families and lives to move forward with. I'm sure some of them are grateful, but they don't want to look back at what's probably one of the hardest times in their lives. A room full of pictures, but no one to go home to for the holidays.

	I wouldn't say that... [ Could be so much more convincing, and he knows it. She's not wrong, but she's not entirely right either. ] Sure, working at the BAU isn't exactly the best grow-ground for a good, solid family life but we're not entirely alone either. We take care of each other... and it's not like we don't have friends or family outside of work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was thinking just of Gideon. I wasn't including you in that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-05 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	Even so... it's not like he was alone. He had a family of his own. Friends. Us. [ Me is what he wants to say, because although the BAU is like one big family they had something special. Something different, and then they didn't. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She reaches up, turning his head just enough so he can lean in and kiss his forehead.] Then he is a lucky guy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-05 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	[ That is so adorable and does well to take the edge out of his voice. Gideon is still such a sensitive subject. ] I suppose so. He didn't have a girl like you though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-05 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	I only know one guy who does. [And she is giving him such a smile right now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-05 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	[ That smile needs to be kissed, so he does. Good save. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-06 12:00 am UTC (link)
	[Good kiss too. There is a lot of love over here.] You're pretty amazing, you know that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-06 12:13 am UTC (link)
	You're one to talk. [ Gentle little shoulder nudge. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-06 05:37 am UTC (link)
	Oh, I know I'm amazing too. That was never in doubt. [Gentle return nudge.] I need to hear more of this piano playing of yours now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-06 12:15 pm UTC (link)
	Alright... how about this, then. [ He takes a moment to find the right keys before beginning to play ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-06 03:46 pm UTC (link)
	[She resists the urge to lean on his shoulder as he plays. It's lovely and she doesn't want to hurt the flow of his movement. Instead, she listens quietly, watching his hands move. He has really good hands.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-06 04:42 pm UTC (link)
	[ Maybe it's because he wants to impress her or maybe he's just not quite as practiced as he'd like to be, but either way it doesn't take too long before he stumbles on a note. Ouch. ] Sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-06 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	You don't have to apologize. It sounds great. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-06 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	I still have a long way to go. I mean, I don't even play that often. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-07 06:36 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe we could get you a keyboard or something at home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-07 07:46 pm UTC (link)
	[ A small, half-shrug. ] This is fine. I can just sneak in here from time to time if I feel like practicing. ...Unless you want me to play at home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-08 06:01 pm UTC (link)
	I think I like hearing it. [She rests a hand on his knee, not to make a move, but to have a connection without bothering his hands.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-08 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	Then we can get a keyboard. [ It makes him happier than he thought it would. Her hand on his knee is just a touch distracting though and after another moment he stops playing. ] You want to, uhm... go do that now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
