He nearly apologizes for the shortness, but Reid doesn't. Alec likely wouldn't acknowledge the apology, anyway, which is just as well, and Reid examines his hand more closely with a mild grimace.
"It's not that bad." Not exactly the truth, but he's still not going to the hospital. When Luke is found, maybe then Reid will go, but he won't waste time with any doctors to be told what he already knows-- some of the knuckles are fractured, he needs to take care not to aggravate the injury and ice it so the swelling goes down.
With a sigh, he stands back up from the couch. "I'm going to go get a towel from the bathroom." Hesitating, Reid nods toward the kitchen. "There's ice in the freezer. If you could make me a pack, I'd appreciate it."
