[He does look happy and calm. More than he has for a while.
He starts to rub his knee half-consciously. He has to do that a lot during their breaks--while he can walk fine, he did get shot in the knee some time ago, and all this travel in the humidity can get uncomfortable.]
Yeah, Morgan. He's a pretty protective guy, but... [Reid chuckles to himself, smiling fondly.] Well, sometimes I think kicking down doors is his favorite part of the job. He's much more, you know, physical than I am. [And he's not built like a pipecleaner with eyes, so yeah.] We got into a prank war before I came here, so I thought this was an escalation at first.
[His smile disappears when she mentions his parents, though he tries to hide it. He's really, really bad at hiding his expressions. He averts his eyes again and starts running a hand through Yang's fur.] Well... well, my mom's really the only one I talk to. She's pretty sick, so I don't get a chance to much. My dad's not in the picture. [Although in recent years, William Reid has been tentatively trying to reconnect with his son. Reid isn't totally sure how he feels about that.] I didn't have any brothers or sisters, either. So really, it's sort of me, my team, and my mother when I can visit.
