Thread: January 6, 2014 Who: Bryan and Reed What: deciding to leave When: Thursday afternoon Where: their room Warnings: none
Reed was nervous. He wasn't sure how Bryan would react to his news. While Reed thought it was in his brother's best interest that he leave the haven. Too much had happened, and Bryan still wasn't coping as well as Reed would have hoped. Some time away, away from this war and the people involved with it, would hopefully help. Time spent far away had to be even better, right?
He exited the shower and threw a towel around his waist, leaving a steamy bathroom in his wake as he walked out into the bedroom they shared. The run had been good. It had given Reed time to clear his head and get his thoughts in order. Whenever he was struggling with something, personal or professional, he ran. It was the quickest way to clarity.
"Hey.." he said calmly, taking a seat on the edge of his bed. Reed searched through the drawer of his nightstand to find his deodorant and quickly put it on. "So, I got something important to talk to you about, and I need you to hear me out and really consider it." He got up, because sitting still was hard when discussing difficult topics. Walking over to the dresser, he threw on a t-shirt and boxers and rummaged for some jeans. "I, uh... I've been offered a spot on a research team... in Sweden. They want me to start immediately."
