[ Although the other day was far from as traumatic as the last inmate influx, it left Reid a little pensive. Made him think of extreme aggressors, of 50 000 chess games, of expecting different outcomes in a game that would only end with check mate, but unlike a few years ago this is not a depressive thought. Instead, it makes him crave interaction and so he hits up the network. ]

Hey, guys. I was wondering... there's quite a few of us here that know how to play chess. How would you feel about an impromptu tournament? Nothing fancy, just... I don't know, anyone who's interested could drop by the library and we'll set up a few games. Bring a board, if you got one.

[ A bit of an awkward smile and then he cuts the feed. ]

(( OOC: MINGLE-STYLE! Email notifs are off, so thread to your hearts content! Reid will have a video response thread here and an action response thread here for your Reid-y needs! ))

[ Chances are he can see where she's going with it — if not now, then soon — but this is supposed to be fun and although he's happy to give her a challenge, he doesn't want to completely overpower her.

Of course, her words throw him off his game just a touch, hitting harder than she could possibly imagine. Meeting Gideon... it's still tender. ]

...I'm sure she'll be able to tell.

[She glances up at him. If he betrays any hint that she grew too close to his personal life, she doesn't pick up on it. Instead, she's surprised by his response at face value.]

[Under her scarf, her smile is a bit wry, but there is still warmth there.]

I hope so. [She drops her gaze back down to the board, following through with her strategy, even if she's not completely confident about it yet.]

	[ If he'd had his head completely in the game, he would've spotted it by now if not sooner, but as it is he's too distracted. Whatever she's trying to do, she succeeds and he proceeds with making his own move unaware. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
