[ It's now or never and although he was hoping that some time would push that towards now rather than never, Reid really doesn't feel like he's ready. He feels raw and exhausted and although he's pushed himself to go out and get some clothes that aren't borrowed from Karev's closet, he's so not in a place where public announcements are possible.

But he has to. Now or never. Movements dull, he reaches for the communicator. ]

...░m back. [ A stretch of static-y silence. ] I'm so░▒y.

	Really don't think that would help here, Artemis. [ Short. Clearly not in the mood. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay... Well, whatever. It's just...good the class isn't over. [And that you're back and stuff.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-04-07 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... I, uh. I don't know when I'll be able to start up again, so... consider this a spring break. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Something keeping you? [Like whatever's up that you won't talk about?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-04-12 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	I kind of got shot. [ Let's just use that as a forever excuse despite the trend of it turning into more prying. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-12 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	Kind of burying the lead! Where were you shot? Why aren't you in the hospital? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-04-12 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	I'm fine. I got it patched up, it's really not that bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-12 09:15 pm UTC (link)
	Bad enough we're having spring break. [Push. Push.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-04-12 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	I told you, a lot happened while I was gone. It was a year and a half for me, Artemis. You really expect me to just pick everything up like nothing happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenerarrow 2014-04-12 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	No, but I kind of thought you'd be straight with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ There's a stretch of tense silence and then he just goes for it. Every time he breaks the news, his heart bleeds a little more. He's not keeping this quiet because he doesn't want her to know, he's keeping it quiet because it hurts too much to talk about it. ] Right before I came back, my girlfriend was shot and killed right in front of me. [ Happy? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It takes a second because, well, Reid's girlfriend is Kitty and that doesn't compute, but this is more complicated than that.] Oh... [And, yes, she feels like an ass. Maybe somewhere she's happy he was honest but mostly it's just the ass thing.] I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private; thisiscalm 2014-04-12 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. [ It's a tense, shuddering sort of response. Like he's out of things to say by now. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private; greenerarrow 2014-04-12 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	I could ask if you want to talk about it, but I guess the point was you didn't. [Sorry about that too.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private; thisiscalm 2014-04-13 12:49 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, that was... that was what I was going for. [ Always backfiring. ] It's okay. I mean, you couldn't know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private; greenerarrow 2014-04-14 02:20 am UTC (link)
	Are you sure I can't...bring you coffee or something? [That sounds really stupid, doesn't it?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private; thisiscalm 2014-04-14 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	[ Kind of cute, actually. ] I'm sure. Thank you, though. I, uh... I appreciate it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private; greenerarrow 2014-04-16 03:37 am UTC (link)
	Okay, well, I'm around. [If you need that coffee...or something.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private; thisiscalm 2014-04-16 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	Sure... catch up later? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private; greenerarrow 2014-04-16 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Sounds good. Sorry again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private; thisiscalm 2014-04-16 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	It's okay. It'll be fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private; greenerarrow 2014-04-18 03:52 am UTC (link)
	[You better be!] (Reply to this) (Parent)
