You've reached Spencer Reid, I can't come to the phone right now but leave a message if you want me to get back to you.

It starts at 8, so if you want to meet me at the store, we could go over there together.

Re: [text]

Sounds like a plan. Should I bring something? A gift? The last birthday I attended was for a child.

Re: [text]

[notaretriever]

Oh, no, that's not necessary. When I asked her what she'd like, she told me not to get her anything, and when I insisted, she told me to make sure I include the receipt.

Okay. The awkward pleasure of a stranger's company it is, then.

[text 1]

It won't be awkward.

[text 2]

Well, it might be awkward. But she's very popular, I'm sure we can get away with staying at the edges of the party.

I take back what I said on my first day about you not being comforting. I'm actually starting to look forward to it.

Re: [text]

[notaretriever]

I'm VERY comforting. I've been told I have a soothing voice. I hope it'll be fun. She's a very enthusiastic woman.

Re: [text]

[youfeelluckypunk]

Well, whoever's told you that isn't wrong. I'm sure it'll be great. I have to pass on the cocktails, but I've been dealing with enthusiastic women for long enough without the help of alcohol.

Is that preference or? Or should I not be asking? You don't have to tell me if it's too intrusive. I'm sorry.

Re: [text]

[youfeelluckypunk]

You don't have to apologize, and you're free to ask me anything. It's a preference, in a way. There was this case once, almost seven years ago now, that has pretty much everything to do with it. Anyway, it's probably a conversation I should have with you in person. If you want to hear it, that is.

Re: [text]

[notaretriever]

Of course I would. I'd like to hear anything you're willing to tell me. I very much like listening to you and talking with you.

Re: [text]

[youfeelluckypunk]

Really? I've told you this before, but I just don't get that a lot. So thank you. For being a friend to me here.

Re: [text]

[notaretriever]

You're brilliant and you're passionate about the things you talk about. It makes everything interesting. Besides, I don't know anyone else who can speak Latin. :) I should thank you, too. For your company.

Re: [text]

[youfeelluckypunk]

I honestly don't know what to say. Idem de te sentio. There. That's what I can say.

Re: [text]

[notaretriever]

And in Latin, no less. Just one more example of why we've become friends. :)
