[Maybe you're at the media store or educational center to play your disc. Maybe you're just out and about somewhere contemplating what you saw or whether to see it. Either way, you're bound to run into someone!]

	[He makes a noise, a bitten back start to his words while his shoulders roll tensely.] - No, it's fine. There's a good chance whatever's on mine isn't great. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And you think I had really good odds of a happy memory? [ C'mon man. ] Do you want me to look at it for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Karev's quiet a beat as he considers the offer. There's a huge part of him that screams no at the thought of sharing any part of his past with anyone. It's a miracle the people he cares about back home found out bits and pieces. He's always tried to keep that shit under lock unless he had to spill it but - if there's literally one person in this entire dome that he thinks he could trust? Who has had similar shit go down?

He swallows hard. Nods.] You'd do it?

Can't be worse than spending an afternoon analyzing torture porn, can it?

[ For work. He doesn't need to specify that, right? He's just trying to lighten the mood here, he knows how anxiety ridden this sort of thing can be and the only reason why he watched his alone was so no one else would be clued in on how absolutely shitty his life is, had it actually been a shitty video. ]

I'll watch it.

[He makes a face that clearly states 'I'm not going to ask, but I get it'.

Then he pulls out the disc to offer it over. It's easy to see the tension in him as he stands in the same beat.] You watch, I'll - go take a piss. Grade it on a scale of 1 to a shitty childhood for when I get back.

[The disc has four different scenes in it, some craftily shorter than others but nothing spectacularly awful - the worst perhaps being the flashback of his wedding to Izzie.]

[ He settles down, waiting until Karev's out of earshot before he loads up the video. Watches, quietly, taking in the scene, the context, like this is any other case. He feels like that's the best way to approach this, with professionalism rather than sentimentality, like Alex might get that better. Knowing what he knows, this could be sensitive and he's not taking this lightly in the least.

When the video ends, he packs up the disc again. Waits, hands folded on the table. ]

[Longest leak in history taken, it was more of Karev just pacing in the restroom and smoothing his hands back through his hair while convincing himself to keep waiting until the disc was over for sure. And then a few minutes more before time just becomes a temporal construct and limited resource and he says fuck it, alright.

Returning to Reid, anxiety is his best man in this situation and he rubs at his shoulder while sitting down.] ... So?

	Keep in mind that I don't understand the full context of any of these. [ So, you know... maybe it's worse than he thinks? Maybe it's better? Your mileage may wary. ] There was some of you working... a premature baby. Very premature. A few clips of your brother that seemed pretty intense. And, uh... your wedding. That was it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2016-02-17 08:30 am UTC (link)
	[The baby - well, it's not the only time he's worked with a premie. It may have been one of the ones that led him to PEDS but it sounds like just another day. Something he'll want to look at, however, out of fondness he doesn't dare let anyone catch on to. He fiddles with a sugar container, evidently uncomfortable.] Aaron... and Izzie? Not sure which is worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-17 09:10 am UTC (link)
	[ He makes a noise of sympathy. Family is hard and relationships are harder. ] You're a good guy, Alex. You deserve way more respect than people are giving you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2016-02-17 09:14 am UTC (link)
	What makes you say that? [Can you notice that it unnerves him to have someone say that out loud? Makes him really wonder what you saw and if you're profiling and that instinct that you summed up not too far back for him Reid, the pushing away defense mechanism, it makes him want to instinctively put it to work again. So nobody says those words again.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-17 09:22 am UTC (link)
	[ Take a damn compliment, Karev. ] Your co-workers made fun of you for trying to save a baby's life. That's pretty damn unprofessional. [ They may tease a lot at the BAU but it stops where work begins. It's too important to be an asshole about it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2016-02-17 09:27 am UTC (link)
	[His eyes flick away and while he's not a hundred percent sure the exact moment (for some reason it happens too frequently) he processes that quietly with a stereotypical Karev Shrug.] Did the kid kick it? Could you tell? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She seemed to be improving. I don't know if she made it in the end, it didn't play that far but it looked good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2016-02-17 09:34 am UTC (link)
	Yeah? [A little spark of interest. Maybe he'll watch the damn disc after all.] We have a stupid wall. We put their pictures up when they leave. If the kid makes it the parents tend to send us that crap. She could be walking and talking by now if she did make it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-17 09:39 am UTC (link)
	It's kind of nice, isn't it? Makes it worth it, knowing that we actually make a difference from time to time. [ He may have a photo in his wallet with the same kind of sentiment. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2016-02-17 09:46 am UTC (link)
	I guess. If you like that kinda thing. [He does.] ... I didn't say any embarrassing crap, did I? At the wedding. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-17 09:48 am UTC (link)
	[ He shakes his head, thoughtfully. ] Just normal wedding stuff. Nothing out of the ordinary. [ So yes, a ton of embarrassing crap. ] You could watch my disc for comparison, if you want. To see where on the wedding speech scale you fall. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2016-02-17 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	[He remembers his vows. He shakes his head.] Ugh. I think I'm done with weddings. Who got married though? Two friends? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-18 04:16 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah- JJ and Will. JJ's been our communications liaison for ages... Will was a cop down in New Orleans. They met when we went down there to work a case. I'm the godfather of their son. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2016-02-18 08:52 pm UTC (link)
	[You can bring up kids and Karev will try not to care but it just somehow relaxes him.] Yeah? That's pretty cool. How old? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-19 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	He's three now. Last Halloween, he dressed up as me. [ In case you wanted more adorable in your life. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	evilspawn 2016-02-21 06:29 am UTC (link)
	What a nerd. [But that's kinda cool. He pauses, scratches his neck.] You ever - wonder about having... ? [Kids.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-21 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	Kids? [ Wow. That took a turn. He hesitates, worrying at his bottom lip. ] I didn't... it didn't seem like a good idea. You know? [ Hereditary. Also, who would he even have them with? ] Kitty and I talked about it a little, but I don't know. I don't think I'm cut out for it. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He never really had someone who had his angle on this, so he had to ask. Meredith had her kids, and she was as close as he could relate to someone else about headspaces and hereditary disasters.] I... well, yeah. I'd like 'em.

Don't know if I'd have them. Not exactly settled down like I thought I'd be by now. [After Izzie everything's askew.] It's probably better if I don't but... I don't know.
