	[ They haven't talked in awhile and that's the only excuse Reid needs to make a little detour and catch up. The library is a good place to be left alone but Gaeta did invite him and they both know the rules here. ] Hey. It's been awhile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Did you know that the best friends are the kinds that are just as reluctant to be social creatures as you? He nods in response and mouths, How are you doing? Talking isn't going to happen because he's not singing, especially not in a library. It's not the done thing. Maybe pantomime would be more effective?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He raises a brow in surprise at all this miming, but he's also bumped into enough affected people by now to know what's up. He's also pretty damn good at reading microexpressions and lips aren't that far from it, especially when it's deliberate like this. ] Fine, I suppose. Better than you right now, I'd guess.

	[Reid gets the most done-with-these-shenanigans eye roll in the history of eye rolls. He's better now than he's been in a while which makes it all the easier to be annoyed with ridiculous inconveniences. Since Reid seems to be a perfectly capable lip reader: You suppose you're fine?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He squints a little in concentration, following the conversation well enough to not leave too much of an awkward gap between question and answer. ] This place... [ A vague gesture to all of this, followed by an equally vague response. ] Can we be sure of anything here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-10-18 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	[As a specialist in vague responses, Gaeta is somewhat suspicious. Is Reid getting at something here? He shakes his head and gives Reid an inquiring look.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-10-20 05:27 am UTC (link)
	[ Do we have ourselves a vague-off? Perhaps. ] I've been here 249 days. After awhile, you lose sight of the specifics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-10-20 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	[That sounds like the least informative standoff ever. Back to making Reid exercise his lip-reading skills: What specifics, specifically? Not that he expects a real reply.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-10-21 04:00 am UTC (link)
	[ He releases a slow breath, committing to this generalised topic of conversation. ] You know... what's bothering us this week, what have we forgotten today, will I wake up as someone else or is it just an average day where one of my closest friends have disappeared? Things like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[That seems like the kind of thing that should be met with an expression of... something, but Gaeta's people skills are out of practice. Forgetting for a moment that talking like a normal human isn't an option today, he sings--]

There must be some way out of here...

[--before catching himself. He crosses his arms and manages to look only moderately chagrined.

The line might sound like something Reid has heard before.]

	[ He raises a brow, for sure. In a way it's a welcome distraction, he wasn't really up for discussing all the intricate details of the heartbreak that is Marina. ] Are you calling me a thief? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-11-01 12:27 pm UTC (link)
	[What, no. What. He shakes his head and mouths, Do you know that song?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-11-03 07:06 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, of course. Some consider it a classic back home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Now that's interesting. Although the song may not have been a classic in the Colonies, it was around. Gaeta has already been surprised by religious, cultural, and linguistic similarities between the Colonies and whatever version of Earth is most widely represented here, but this is uncanny. It warrants investigation.

None of that is easy to convey nonverbally, so what if he...]

There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief

[Helpful. He'll have to get back to you on this when language is working again, Reid.]

	[ He nods — okay. Today is a weird day for serious conversation so maybe it's better if they save it for some other time. ] We can pick up on this later, when you're more, uh. Communicative. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-11-05 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	[Stupid dome, getting in the way of what could have potentially been a conversation about escaping. (Maybe they could have even compared vampire stories!) He nods. I'd appreciate that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-11-06 07:19 am UTC (link)
	Later, then. [ Reassuring smile and awkward wave and then he'll leave Gaeta to his work. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
