[ here's a semi-smiling face you haven't seen on the network for awhile. ]

I kind of feel I need a change. Is there anyone who can give me a haircut?

OOC: this is the haircut the mun has in mind.

	Exactly. It's like I... like I never left and like I was never here at the same time. I don't know what to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ elena nods. she knows exactly what he means. ] I didn't either. For awhile, I... I guess leaning on people here and... just waiting for it to get easier... Maybe a part of me still doesn't know.

	[ He makes a noise. A huff of air that could've been mistaken for amused under different circumstances. ] I kind of want to lock myself up somewhere and not talk to people until it's all back to normal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ she lets out her own puff of air, even smiles - but it's humorless too and in commiseration. ] I usually lock myself in my room. [ well. ] I mean, I'd like to. I do - I have a journal and writing helps. But I make myself get out. You know, breathe, eat, sleep until it's not as hard anymore.

[ she's had plenty of experience. her expression drops and so does her eyes. she's recalling all that experience. ]

	That was easier at home. I mean, it's not like it's... [ He draws a breath. ] It's not the first time. [ Not his first loss, even though none of the others ever felt as heartbreaking as this one. Emily had him grieving for ten weeks straight and this doesn't feel any easier. ] It's just hard to stay busy here, I suppose. [ Maladaptive coping strategies. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ it's not the first time. the words are heavy with implication, and elena feels a rush of empathetic and terrible understanding, of compassion. she wonders what he's truly referring to, because she knows the grief in his words intimately.

she inhales suddenly and swallows thickly. but no, it could be a million things.

and he's right, of course. life goes on at home. here there's always a sense of being trapped. stuck. ] There're only so many classes and extracurriculars a girl can take.

[ she pauses. ] Whatever happened... what happened at home- [ stops, worries her lip with her teeth. she doesn't want to assume too much. they've never been close. ] If you wanna talk about it. [ insert caring look here. ] I'm here.

[ One of these days, they really should sit down and open up their hearts to each other. They're so close already, on the verge of some kind of truth but the last firm shove is still absent. If it had been there, maybe he would've taken her up on her offer instead of hesitating and then politely declining. ]

Thank you. I appreciate it. [ A beat. ] The same goes for you, you know. If there's anything you need to talk about...

[ for a moment, during that hesitation, she thinks he might take her up on that offer. she blinks and pulls in a breath to ready herself. but the moment passes, and elena can't say she's surprised. she smiles, tucks hair behind her ear, and glances down. and she has her own moment of hesitation as well at his offer, her gaze lingering a moment too long. her troubles involve vampires and blood: things she should talk about. but not now, not with reid. still, the offer is met with warmth. ]

Thanks.

	[ Vampires is actually a subject he's gotten pretty good at discussing over the last few months. If she wanted to unload on him, he'd actually have something to say. ] Take care, okay? And good luck with the haircut. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ elena would definitely have something to say about losing a loved one. soon, ok, soon. ] You too. [ with one last, parting smile for the good luck, she ends the feed. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
