[ it's not quite a resolution, but it's something. a sign that they're still somewhere close to on the same page.
but there's a moment of pause from Stephen here. his lips pinch in just slightly as he hangs on a decision... I don't exactly go around telling everyone I'm losing my head, for the record. Fitz isn't the only one who's shared secrets pertaining to the mind. and though it isn't fair to ask the question - ]
Yeah.
[ - he just can't quite help himself. ]
What else did you tell her? Probably best I don't try keeping any secrets she already knows. Not the greatest way to establish trust.
[ since his messages suggest he and Katelin are going be heading for a drink. since they've already made this mistake once, and it's clearly working out great.
since he's curious to know if the one relative secret he told Fitz in confidence, his gesture of good faith, has made it out to her. can't remember anyone wailing about unsecure networks then.
despite the various sentiments sitting underneath it, he keeps the question as neutral as he can: it would be good to have a general overview of what he's already filled her in on, regardless of whether or not the piece of information Stephen's interested in is involved. if that piece has gone walkabouts? Fitz was only doing his job - as friend and as colleague. Stephen can figure out whether or not he's bitter on his own time, he just wants to know. ]
