	Sure, but who wasn't? [ Is it weird if he wraps an arm around her shoulders and gives her a friendly hug? This is a good moment and it should be treated as such. ] Thank you for showing this to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-26 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	Everyone not at this table? [Actually, it's the perfect moment for it because her parents! And she's really glad he's here to share it with her. She leans in against him, head resting on his shoulder for a bit.] Thanks for watching it. I really hope you're wearing something horrible in yours too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Despite everything they've gone through lately, he'll always want to share things like this with her. They were friends before anything else and he'd at least like to get back to that. A solid foundation for a shaky house. ] Depends on who you're asking, I guess. [ He digs it out, setting it to play ] You'll see some familiar faces in here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Oh, this one gives her feelings. It just had to be a wedding, didn't it? That smiling face. The dancing. It's so good to see him that way.]

Not horrible. You look... [Like the most beautiful man in the world] really happy.

I didn't even know Hotch could smile. And you with [She needs a moment to recall the name] Henry. [She looks at him.] You're going to be the best father someday, Reid.

	[ She remembered Henry's name. He didn't expect that she would and it fills his chest with warm flutters that she did. ] I don't know about that... but I think I'm doing an okay job of being a godfather. [ MIT awaits, soon as Henry is old enough. Reid'll make sure of that. ] Did I tell you that he dressed up as me for Halloween? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-27 03:50 pm UTC (link)
	[She knew he was important to Reid, so he was important to her even if she's never going to meet him.] You didn't. Mismatched socks and a tiny sweatervest? [It's almost too cute. She can't really stop how fond she looks right now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-28 12:11 am UTC (link)
	Of course. He has an eye for details. [ Or JJ does. Probably that. ] That's JJ, by the way... and Will. Rossi. [ Remember that guy? The guy you're always compared to? ] And Emily... did you ever meet her? She wasn't here very long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-28 12:15 am UTC (link)
	I bet he was really adorable [too.] Oh, Rossi. Sure. I should have known. I look just like him. [And he gets a nod.] Briefly, but I met her. I think I met all of the ones who were here. [Except the one who stopped by for one day and left his drugs, but she's not bringing him up. Not today.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-28 12:43 am UTC (link)
	[ Tobias wasn't a teammate and so he doesn't count. There. ] This was the last time we were all together. She moved to London right after this. [ A little bitter-sweet and yeah he's getting emotional. Jeeze. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-28 12:51 am UTC (link)
	[She sees that and shifts in closer to give him a hug.] That's why they have phones, right? [She gets that it would be different though. It's hard going from having someone as a daily, important part of your life to someone you might see sometimes. Really, really hard.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-28 11:10 am UTC (link)
	[ A hug is the perfect thing right now. He's pretty happy that they ended up in some kind of friendship again before this day, he would've missed sharing this with her. ] Yeah... and now I have an excuse to go to London. It's not a bad thing, at least she said goodbye properly this time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-28 01:55 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. And you've never really traveled, right? [It's always a little hard talking about things like this. About the future where people are maybe in their own worlds again. But even more than she wants a happy ending for herself or for them together she wants one for him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-28 02:35 pm UTC (link)
	Not outside North America... and I don't know if Canada and Mexico really count. [ For someone who flies as much as he does, he sure never travels. ] I'd never seen New York before we had a case there. I guess in that regard I'm pretty lucky. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-28 03:22 pm UTC (link)
	Heeeeey, you know Chicago is the one to feel lucky about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-28 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	Chicago is cool too. [ Such a shame Morgan isn't here. ] Hey, can we watch yours again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-28 05:26 pm UTC (link)
	[She pulls back with a nod, finding it sweet that he wants to.] Yeah, we can. I'm probably going to watch this a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-28 05:43 pm UTC (link)
	[ Hey, it's a time of her life that wasn't horrible. It's like the rarest, shiniest Pokémon. ] Good thing we can't wear these out. I have a feeling I'll do a couple of reruns of mine too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-28 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	[She sets it up and plays it again. She still gets very engrossed even though she's watched it a few times already. Her eyes might be just a touch shiny when her Dad hugs her. "I love you, kitten."] Maybe there will be a way to make a real copy if we... When we get out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-28 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	[ It's his turn to give her a hug of support, one-armed but heartfelt. Wow this is a rare, good day. ] I hope so... they owe us that much, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-28 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	[She lets her head rest against his shoulder, feeling natural there even if it hasn't had an invitation for some time.] I wonder if this is them trying to make it up to us after Jack and Tyki. The bodyswitches. [Clarifying because both those names feel a little triggering when it comes to her and Reid.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-28 10:14 pm UTC (link)
	[ This is nice. Friendly. He chooses rather decisively to not overthink this moment. ] If that's the case, they need to do better than this. [ Ugh. ] Really hope we don't have to go through that again anytime soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I very much agree. We need pizza and Indian food parties for awhile to make up for it.

[She's quiet for a moment still leaning against him. Talking about the bodyswap makes her think of something she realized awhile ago but never really talked to him about. Maybe there's no reason to now and bringing it up is a bad idea.

But... She feels like she owes it to him.]

Hey. [Voice softer.] Speaking of Tyki and Jack, I realized something that I should have realized a long time ago. [She pulls back so she can look at him. Apologies deserve some eye contact.]

	thisiscalm 2016-01-28 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	[ Okay, this is less nice. Still, he's in a good place today and if there's some air that needs clearing then this may just be the best day for it. He looks at her, brows furrowing. ] What did you realize? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, with Jack just stuff like dancing with him at parties. I could tell it had an effect on you and I shouldn't have been doing that to you. Just because I knew there was no one else I could want to be with more than you [Yeah she couldn't meet his eyes for that part. Especially since it feels as true today as it did then.] doesn't mean you knew that. And I should have shown it to you by respecting what made you uncomfortable. [Her eyes make it back to his.] I'm sorry.

Oh. [ He swallows, mulling this over for a bit. Truth be told he thought they were past discussing their relationship but this is... this is good. They should talk about it, straighten some things out. Maybe it won't lead to them reuniting but it can't hurt, right? You have to learn from your mistakes. ]

I never wanted you to not be able to dance with other people, but... yeah. We should've talked about it more. [ A little self-deprecating smile. ] And c'mon, it was Jack. I really can't blame you there.
