Completely fine by me!

"I know I didn't react.... very tactfully to your appointment." Caitlyn admits. Because it's kind of true. "But it never felt like the right fit." At the time she'd wondered if it was just because she's so many personal biases against the position, but with time she's pretty sure that's not true. At least, not entirely.

"I'm not blaming you. Unlike what I thought when we were younger, sometimes maybe you really do just have to choose the lesser of two evils." Which is a big concession coming from Caitlyn, but that even when you get to the extremes there are still shades involved. Gray doesn't just exist in the middle. "And if it doesn't work....well, then we just try something else."

Maybe life isn't technically like Jayce's experiments, but maybe there's something to be learned from all that time in a lab.

She doesn't have the prolonged absence, but even the small one she'd had back home had been strange. He'll always be a place of grounding for her, a touchstone if you will. And she's glad of it, hopes it'll never change.

"I know. It shows." After all, she's got a front row seat considering her living arrangements. Not that she's complaining. It's sweet, when it's not tinged with sadness and desperation. Something that, maybe, she envies a little bit. It looks nice. Not now of course, but... one day perhaps.

"Always." For all the teasing and grief they give each other "Perhaps I'll stop for tea on the way back." Maybe do some shopping, pick up a new book to read for fun. If she doesn't get distracted with something duty related in the process.
