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! ]

	[He stares at Reid for a second. Stupid point made.] Nobody else knows. [Definitive, because he does not want this getting around.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Hint coming through, loud and clear. ] Nobody else will know. You have my word. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2013-11-06 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	Same goes for you. [He won't tell either.] Does she know about it? [You know who.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-06 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	Kitty? Yeah, of course she knows. [ A brief pause and an amused noise, as if he just realized this himself. ] Actually, uh... I don't think there's all that much left that she doesn't know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2013-11-06 05:32 pm UTC (link)
	Careful that doesn't bite you in the ass. [Sharing too much.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-06 05:37 pm UTC (link)
	[ And we're not even truth'd up! ] Believe me, I've thought about that... a lot. [ More than Kitty needs to know. ] Why don't you think I can trust her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2013-11-06 06:08 pm UTC (link)
	It's not that I don't think you can trust her more like... Do you really want her knowing everything? C'mon man, boundaries. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-07 12:50 pm UTC (link)
	[ Shakes his head. ] At first I didn't want her to know anything at all. Now though? It's... kind of nice. She gets it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2013-11-07 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	[It's nice until they leave. Not jaded, really.] And how long have you two been a thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-07 06:53 pm UTC (link)
	[ Excuse me that's his line. Or. Used to be. ] A couple of months now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2013-11-07 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	[His eyes only roll a little.] Okay. Does she share every teeny weeny little detail with you too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-07 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, she does. Actually, I think she tells me more than I tell her. [ Hmn. ] I know what you're trying to get at, but I trust her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's picking at the rim of his coffee cup, like a moody kid for a second.] Then don't you two have the perfect relationship. I'm going to hurl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-07 07:22 pm UTC (link)
	It's not perfect, just... surprisingly functional. [ Awkwardly picking at a packet of sugar. Way to make him all self-conscious and full of thoughts. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2013-11-07 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	[Hn, Karev's not about to be helpful and explain himself, either.] Whatever, just sayin' you ought to make sure that when it hits the fan she's really the chick you think she is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-09 01:00 pm UTC (link)
	Believe me, I've been down that road before. [ Recently, too. Maybe he is putting too much faith in Kitty. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2013-11-09 07:40 pm UTC (link)
	[Karev's just going to studiously look at his coffee. He's not quite close enough to Reid to be much more chatty without prompting and he's never really spoken about this kind of thing to anyone except Mer.] Who hasn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-10 04:49 am UTC (link)
	[ You wanted prompting? You are getting prompting. ] What happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2013-11-10 03:19 pm UTC (link)
	Long story. It's probably not in your best interests to hear it, at any rate. [Flicking him a look, Karev's not that intent on talking but he did kick open the door on this conversation.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-10 05:43 pm UTC (link)
	Try me. [ Anecdote-tease. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2013-11-10 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	I was married. Emphasis on the was. [But what are the chances you'll end up like him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-10 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	What happened? [ Did you seriously think you could stop there? Also, about the marriage thing... the topic may have come up. Once or twice. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2013-11-10 06:12 pm UTC (link)
	[He gives Reid a look like he doesn't want to get into it, shifts his stance and leans back in his seat but he's already this far. Ugh, if they hadn't talked the last time they did, he would've still rather decked you than tell you.] One thing after another. You really want the long story? 'Cause I don't even know where to start. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-10 06:31 pm UTC (link)
	I have time... if you want to talk. [ Softly offering. This is staying between the two of them. See it as free counseling or something. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Dead eye stare right at Reid, just for a moment. Eye to eye contact, and then he folds his fingers together on the table and shrugs. Shrugs for himself and no other reason, just allowing himself to act like this doesn't matter to him the way it does so that he can talk about it openly. Even when parts still burn a little, this far down the road. Even though he's over it. And her.]

We met as interns, y'know, same group. She showed me up when I was a real jerk to her, turned the tables on me pretty quick. [So maybe Kitty's a little like her, not the same but similar. He snickers. Maybe that's when this all started, between him and Izzie. That far back.] She busted my balls, man.

An' so then we dated on and off. [He waves his hand. The whys about that aren't important. Denny doesn't need to be brought into this.] ...Then.

She got sick out of nowhere. Cancer sick. [Shooting Reid a glance, another shrug of his shoulders. He's never validated this decision out loud like this before. He kind of hopes for an interruption, but keeps talking.] So we got married 'cause how do you freaking know if you'll have the opportunity later? When cancer's messing with your girl.

[He's back at staring at his coffee cup, still half full yet he can't make himself want to drink it.] Treatment after treatment, she started getting better. Came back to work, around the same time our hospital merged with another. The hospital needed to make budget cuts, she got fired even though I...

She thought I got her fired, but I was just looking out for her. So what does she do? She bails, leaves me a letter and bails. Checks out, disappears. You think you know someone and they pull that on you, not even giving you the benefit of the doubt.
