Reid nods when Alec says he's fine. "I know you are. Me, too. Always fine." With most people, anyway. He's never had much interest in unloading his burdens on anyone, not without a great deal of pushing, and he'd always considered himself fortunate if his teammates were too busy with a case to notice he was struggling.

That's not something he can hide anymore, at least not with one person in particular, but Reid finds that he doesn't mind that at all. It's nice to know that he's always going to have someone in his corner. He's always going to have someone he can talk to without fearing judgment, without wondering whether he's going to lose another important person from his life. He's lost too many already, quite a few of them in this city have, and he's not interested in going through that again if he can help it.

"But I'm glad to hear things are better. You've got... certain people who might help you stay better than fine, even." There's no sign of mockery in his tone, no teasing. He knows Magnus is important to Alec and vice versa, it's something he can relate to perfectly well.
