RP: Callen and April Who: G Callen and April Kepner Where: The Base When: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 Summary: G decides not to repeat past mistakes.
Savannah had had a point when she told G he'd ignored her when she first arrived. Of course, he had his reasons, his own adjustments to make. But, if he was going to lead this team, his issues had to come second to the needs of his team and he'd failed Savannah in that. He hadn't even seen it until it was almost too late.
G had been making inroads toward rectifying his error with those already there. Dinner and Christmas were a start. And from there he'd start arranging more training swaps like he had with Savannah and her tumbles.
But, they were still getting an influx of new arrivals through that rift and G was determined not to repeat his past mistakes -- especially with the civilians. They'd gotten lucky with Savannah, finally finding a way to calm her down and stop the escape attempts and suicide attempts. G wasn't going to count on a repeat of such luck. If making an effort early would prevent a repeat, G would make an effort.
It was his responsibility to do so.
And, that led him to the hotel where new arrivals were housed, looking to meet one April Kepner, newly arrived surgeon from Seattle. He'd picked up her personnel file from Hetty when he'd picked up the others' and decided to give her a few days while he finished getting his own head on straight -- at least, to outward appearances. In the privacy of his own house, it was another matter. He didn't have to pretend he was fine.
Not that Sam would believe him, anyway.
Now, he was back in work mode and it was time introductions were made. To which end, he knocked briskly on Kepner's door and waited for her to open it. "Dr. Kepner? I'm Agent Callen. I wanted to come by and introduce myself, see if you were settling in well enough under the circumstances."
