All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

Edgar Allen Poe

[The man's tone is thoughtful, the words clearly intended for himself more than anyone else.]

And what a dream.

[ action ]
[An older man sits at a small corner table in the Winery, sipping a glass of red wine and reading Crime & Punishment. The situation is too strange for him to be concerned; it has to be some kind of dream. So why worry?]

[Still morning and already Kitty could use a drink.

And as good as vodka tonic might sound this particular nineteen-year-old mutant crime fighter is picking up a water from the bar as she scans the room to see who might be occupying it. No former husbands. No Tykis. Good.

She heads to what looks like the quieter side of things, and sits with her back to the wall. Sadly, the corners were all taken. She glances at one of them now since it's close by and smirks.]

Was that in the ironic section of the library?

	[Gideon looks up from his book, peering at Kitty over the rim of his glasses.] Excuse me? [His voice is warm and open, if not quite friendly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Your book. It's a funny thing to be reading in a prison. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, yes. [smiling a little as he holds it up and shakes it a little] It seemed appropriate. [He gestures, inviting her to join him at his table if she likes. She seems like more cheerful company than Dostoevsky.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She was voted most likely to be reasonably more cheerful than Dostoevsky in school.

She also figures why not and slips out of her chair and into one of his. Sitting at a table by yourself isn't all that interesting as it turns out.]

Let me guess, you just got here today. [She keeps pretty good tabs on new arrivals even when she doesn't get to know them and in a place like Marina, someone over 40 stands out.]

	Good guess. What gives it away? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-05 06:10 pm UTC (link)
	I haven't seen you before, and I have keen observational skills. [Little smile] I have to keep up with my profiler after all. [Which is definitely not a comment about her current company.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oncesaid 2013-08-05 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	You keep a profiler as a pet? [dry and amused, but there's something sharp and curious in his eyes] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-05 06:41 pm UTC (link)
	Pet, boyfriend, potato, patahto. [There is something fond in her smile she can't quite ease out even when she's trying to sound perfectly casual. Of course Reid is not a pet to her, but she's also not going to wax poetic about him to a stranger.] You know the term? Profiler. Not boyfriend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oncesaid 2013-08-05 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	I do indeed. I work with a team of them. Profilers, not boyfriends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Woah, this just got real. Or it did a few beats ago and she missed it. She'll need to pay more attention in Reid's classes clearly.]

Is that so? [Lots of worlds, lots of profilers. No reason he'd be someone Reid's worked with and yet... This place is fond of coincidences, isn't it? Worth hazarding a guess maybe. She's met Derek and Hotch and most of the other names she knows are female which leaves...]

You don't seem especially Italian, so it's nice to meet you, Jason. [Which will either be dead on or hilariously wrong. She can wait and see.]

	[His eyes go sharp, and while his posture remains relaxed, there's something very deliberate about it.] Have we met before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-05 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	[She could cut herself on those!] Definitely not. Reid mentioned you though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[His gaze doesn't soften, but it lights up with understanding.]

He's your profiler boyfriend.

[He doesn't bother hiding the assessing look. He feels very paternal towards the young doctor, and while stereotypes decree that fathers zealously guard the honor of their daughters...well, let's just say Gideon doesn't mind the idea of this young woman being a little bit scared of him.]

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-05 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	He's the one. [Boy, that phrase sounds bigger than intended. Of course the look she's giving him now is more curious than intimidated. She's used to Logan! Then again, there is something about this man's calm that is unsettling.] I guess you probably can't profile my name off me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oncesaid 2013-08-05 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	I'm a profiler, not a mind-reader. [The twinkle in his eyes does nothing to soften his protective papa bear aura.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Too bad. I'm good with those. [Fast friends with Charles after all.] Kitty Pryde. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oncesaid 2013-08-06 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	Nice to meet you, Kitty. So, how long have you been dating young Spencer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-06 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	[She smiles a little at "young Spencer" considering he's about a decade older than her.] A little over two months which probably won't add up since you may have just seen him yesterday, but this place is funny that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He shrugs.] Time is an illusion, or so said Albert Einstein. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-06 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	Does having Albert back you up make you feel better about the current situation? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oncesaid 2013-08-06 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	What's there to feel bad about? Free food, free books, charming company. [And odds are good this is all just a dream.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-06 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	All the frees you want except freedom. But, hey, I think I was getting a compliment in there so... [So subject change time. She may not get another chance to get to know this Jason Gideon fellow.] How long have you been a profiler? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oncesaid 2013-08-07 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	Longer than you've been alive, I think. What about you? What do you do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-07 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	Could be. [She may pass as a little older than her years because of her intelligence and the level of responsibility she's had, but you can only fake so many.] Here I'm the leader of the Defense Force. At home I was a teacher among other things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
