[ Despite the black eye (entering the more awful phase now on day two) Reid is in a surprisingly good mood today. For once, the Wardens did something nice. Sure, he's homesick like he hasn't been in a while but the disc in his pocket is still a great reminder that he has a wonderful family waiting for him back home and that things haven't always been this pitchblack depressing. It wasn't that long since JJ and Will got married. Wasn't that long since he was genuinely happy.
Mood bright and steps light, he goes about his day outside for once, picking up coffee and browsing the shelves at the library for something new to read. ]
