Dr. Spencer Reid looked up from his cluttered desk, the dim light of the bullpen reflecting off his browline glasses as he noticed the newcomer. His hazel eyes sparkled with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation, intrigued by the prospect of a fresh face joining their team. With a faint but genuine smile playing at the corners of his lips, he approached, his lanky frame moving with an almost awkward grace.

"I've been eager to see the person behind the remarkable work I've heard about from Hotch. Welcome aboard." He extended his hand in a gesture of camaraderie, the slight nervousness betrayed by the faint sheen of sweat on his palm, which he hastily wiped away on his pants before offering his hand once more.
