Do you have a moment?

[ Locked to Kitty Pryde. ]

Hey... we need to talk. [ Wow that sounds scary, let's defuse that. ] It's work related.

[ Open Action ]

[ Anyone keen on bumping into Reid today can easily find him at the library, the Defence Force HQ, Bean Crushers in Sector 4 or en route to any of these places or the apartment complex in Sector 2! ]

	[Crashing into Reid at the library. Or more like, if he happens to be nearby he might notice a sleeping vampire, head resting in her arms upon one of the tables. If he doesn't happen to wake her or say anything, she'll eventually wake up and notice him.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[ The last time he woke her up he got slapped so although he has every intention of saving her from what must be a neck-murdering sleeping position, he'll uh. Approach with caution. Keeping a safe distance he calls out to her in that half-whisper people always use when they want to wake someone up. You know the one. ] Hey, uh... Yuuki? Yuuki. Are you awake?

[She's a deep sleeper, but at least her ears are sensitive (usually...) and so at the couple, quiet attempts to rouse her, she stirs.]

Hmm...? Is it Takoyaki day in the cafeteria?

[Lifting her head up sleepily she blinks.]

Reid-san? [Oh. Her eyes widen slightly.] Oh! [Lifting a hand to her face, she turns away and quickly wipes away any drool. SO EMBARRASSING.]

U-Um, hi! I guess I dozed off...

	[ Little smile. ] It happens to the best of us. Are you alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-11-02 06:59 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I'm fine. [A fangy yawn] I patrolled last night, so I guess I'm a bit tired. [And... maybe she seems a bit shy, suddenly?] Um... how are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-03 05:33 am UTC (link)
	I know that feeling... [ Less with the patrolling and more with the really really long shifts, but the end result is still much the same. ] I'm doing pretty well. Keeping busy... same old, you know how it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-11-03 11:05 am UTC (link)
	Not a lot of deviation from routine here, I'm afraid. [Patrolling is kind of boring anyway, he's not missing much. (Not that she WANTS it to be exciting, either)] Um... I was hoping that I would maybe talk to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-04 09:40 am UTC (link)
	Sure. What's up? [ Sliding over a chair to take a seat opposite her. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, it's nothing... I mean, it isn't a big deal or anything.

[Don't be too interested, it would defeat the purpose of her reason for wanting to talk.]

I... actually, I just wanted to tell you sorry for the other day. [She's still rather embarrassed and horrified over how much she was spilling her guts. Talk about emotional.] The truth is... I was really really over exaggerating some things. I mean-- Big brother has made mistakes in the past, but he's not a bad person. [BACK TRACK BACK TRACK] He's goal orientated, but he-- that is... if he was to arrive here, he wouldn't harm anyone.

[There'd be no point]

Also I'm a very, very spoiled individual. Even with Kaname-oniisama, he had to put up with a lot. Even despite that he still pampered me, so... [Wow she doesn't even know what to say sdkfhsfs] I mean, some of the things I was making a big deal about are my own fault.

[ . . . ]

I'm just trying to say, you should just forget about the other day. I'm really not traumatized by anything. [L-LAUGH] And I'm not upset about... the class was abandonment issues, right? [She went to too many] I mean, I'm even better about going out on my own now. [At least here in Marina] So it was kind of silly.

I just... wanted to clear that up, is all...

	Yuuki... [ Small, reassuring smile. ] It's okay. I shouldn't have drawn any conclusions with the limited information I had. We all got kind of, uh... worked up that day, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-11-06 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	[She blinks for a moment, before a relieved smile spreads across her face.] Aha... that's true. Weird, huh? [But she's glad that he ~~pretends to?~~ believes her regarding her ~~super dysfunctional~~ relationship.] But in the end you seemed to hold up rather well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-06 05:12 pm UTC (link)
	I guess I must be used to it by now. [ Or something. It should be more disconcerting than it is... shouldn't it? Maybe prison really did get to him, with how it continuously draws truth out of him by force. ] Last time was worse by far. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-11-06 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	Last time...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-06 05:26 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, last group therapy session. I, uh... I got into a bad group. That's all. [ If she doesn't already know, there's no need to tell her. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Well she wont pry. Not when it sounds personal. And she's glad, too, that he's taking what she told him at face value. For a little while she's fretted a bit about the things she told him.

In the end she's aware that she still very well does have some issues she has to work on. But she's not sure that she's ready to talk about them to others. While certain things, she's still in denial about. But Kaname is a subject she doesn't like to talk about.]

Although, Reid-san is a doctor, right?

[Her eyes widen] Oh... you know I don't think I've ever called you doctor. [IS SHE BEING RUDE?]

	That's okay. [ Little smile. He's not that strict with the titles here, unless he feels it's warranted. So little to prove when he's this far from home. ] I'm not that kind of doctor... I mean, I have doctorates but I'm not a doctor that helps people. Not in a medical sense, anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mm. [She's glad that it's not something he seems to mind too much. She'd feel bad otherwise.]

Well, with your understanding of how people might think, or work, I thought you'd probably know a bit more about whether people needed therapy anyway. I mean, your job is to get into the mind of how real criminals work.

[She's trying to make a point somewhere in there]

So in the end, what do the wardens know, anyway? They're just programmed machines that can't account for human emotion at all. [Yep, that goes for nonhumans, too. Everyone feels after all.]

Well, uh... I don't really work on this type of scale back home. The first thing to take into consideration though is the immense individual differences — we're certainly not all criminals and even those that would be deemed as such in my world- [ Like Kitty. ] -doesn't necessarily live by those same standards back where they're from. Cultural differences, customs, societal norms... it's more complicated than just doing right or wrong. First we have to establish what is right and wrong.

[ Woah okay that is a rant that is starting to get out of hand. He reigns himself in, clears his throat. ]

That said... you don't have to be a criminal to benefit from therapy.

	I guess that's true. [In the wake of being forced it had been a little too personal for comfort. But she hadn't thought of it outside of a warden governed activity.] There's people I know that could probably benefit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-30 01:04 pm UTC (link)
	It's a shame they're going about it the way they do... this way, the ones that really do need help won't reach out for it. It's a humiliating experience when it should be anything but that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-11-30 01:08 pm UTC (link)
	That's if they know they need help to begin with. [Do people usually recognize that kind of thing?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-30 01:14 pm UTC (link)
	That's the other problem. [ Sigh. ] Hey, Yuuki... I'm not a therapist, but if you know someone who needs to talk..? [ Like you? Maybe? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh... of course! I'll direct them to you right away, Dr. Reid.

[Did you see how she used doctor this time?? Context yeah.]

There's someone I'd like to think it would benefit, but... [Sigh] I doubt he'd talk. Getting him to talk to even me can be like pulling teeth sometimes. [It's frustrating.]

Somehow, though... he seems to be doing all right, lately. [It's weird. She's happy for him, but in a way she feels... a little useless, too. She's used to helping him. When he doesn't need it she's not sure what to do with herself. She shrugs a little and smiles.]

Actually he prefers to stay here in Marina, now. So... I'm not sure what to say about that, either.

	Who is it? I can't make any promises but getting people to talk is kind of part of my job description. [ Wow that sounds shady. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-11-30 03:57 pm UTC (link)
	Zero Kiryuu. Thanks to.... my family he's been through a lot, but. [A breath and a nod] He's a really good person. [Despite recent rumors. The incident with the tree isn't a good reflection of him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
