Day 363 [video | private to Reid]
[Yesterday had been a pretty good day at least for starters. Sure, there was a lot of forced kissing, but what else is new? She got a gift basket from Reid as a belated birthday olive branch. And they kissed and it was...something. Emotional. Not bad though and that's something. They'd eaten together and had coffee and there were loose plans for a call, but then she and Chekov had a moment and that call never happened. Now, it's growing later on the following day and she's already settled into bed when she turns the feed on.]

Hey, I had some more ideas for your middle name. I don't feel like we've ruled out Coleslaw or Humphrey yet.

[It takes her a moment to figure out what the reasons were in the first place. She's thinking maybe a little boredom. Wanting a way to better organize his time and give back with his unique skill set. It all makes sense to her. It's some of what drives her to teach and lead the force. But then something else clicks into place and while she can't know if it's what he's thinking, it feels right. Not that thinking of him ever feels right anymore.] The reason could come back. It's good to be ready.

[She bites her bottom lip. She really doesn't want him to come back. She doesn't want any of them to go through that again.]

[ To be fair, Tyki wasn't the only reason. Sure, he was a catalyst, but there was a bigger underlying problem of a poorly organized and poorly trained defense force that didn't seem to take prevention into account beyond patrols. They're not in the same situation anymore, neither with organisation nor looming threats. ]

I'm just wondering if criminology is the right way to go. I got some pretty harsh criticism last time.

	Really? Well, what else are you thinking about? [She has no doubt he could teach a wide array of things.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Psychology, maybe? More generalised, more applicable... less chance of attracting the sexual sadists. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That could be cool. Do you mean [our son] Nathan specifically? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-01 07:08 am UTC (link)
	Not really. He seemed genuinely interested in the procedures themselves- [ And the killers, a lot ] -rather than the grisly details. On that note, I'm not even sure if the diagnosis of sexual sadist is entirely correct. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-01 07:11 am UTC (link)
	No? What are you thinking? [Because if it's Nathan-related she'd like to know.] And what sexual sadists were you thinking of? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, his age first of all. He's fifteen, his frontal lobe won't be fully developed for another ten years or so. Any kind of diagnosis that implies a lack of empathy made at this age would have to be reevaluated either way. [ Gideon was kind of full of shit, with that particular arrogance. ]

Sexual sadists also find some pleasure in what they do. Nathan clearly doesn't.

	Are these hopeful words? They sound like hopeful words. [She'd appreciate hope where Nathan is concerned.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe? I mean, don't get them up too high or anything but if we don't know what's going on with him, then we can't possibly know that there's no way of him getting better. And even if we did, science makes new discoveries every day — especially here, the chance of finding something that will help him in the long term is pretty good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-01 07:39 am UTC (link)
	I'll make sure they are appropriately high. [Smiling at him. She really likes that he sounds optimistic.] I will also be the first in line for your new class, whatever it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-01 07:54 am UTC (link)
	Yeah? That's, uhm... that means a lot. Thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-01 01:30 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. [She's always liked learning and getting to see him even more regularly is not a downside for her.] I'll even bring you an apple if you play your cards right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-01 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	Well, in that case... [ He missed this more than he realized. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-01 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	[She's been all too keenly aware of how much she missed it. She's just glad they're getting at least a piece of it back.] If you really play them right I might upgrade it to Indian food. But you'd probably have to be a card shark for that. Someone who grew up in Vegas or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-01 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	Aw, shoot. There's no way I can live up to standards that high. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-01 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	That's a shame. I hope the history teacher likes Indian. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-02 08:35 am UTC (link)
	We have a history teacher? [ Someone hasn't paid attention, maybe. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Looking amused.] I'm pretty sure Lyle still teaches it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-03 08:32 am UTC (link)
	Huh. Maybe I should sit in sometime. [ No no no one wants you as a student, Reid. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure he'd love nothing more. You're always welcome at mine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Y'know, I was just thinking that I don't know how to disassemble a toaster as well as I should. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-04 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	You never know when you'll have to do it on the spot. Just because it's never happened doesn't mean it won't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-03-05 11:42 am UTC (link)
	That's a good point. Very difficult to argue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I may have become a master debater. Please try not to let this intimidate you too much in our current and future dealings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
