The acrobat cocked his head. "Looks like we're stuck together," he drawled, hoping to raise the scientist's ire.

McKay's gaze flicked skyward and he folded his arms across his chest. "So it would seem," he intoned. "What? You're not happy? I thought you were anxious to come to the city."

"Oh, yeah," John said, sticking out his lower lip, "I've been dreaming about this day for a while now. I figure, if we're going to be prisoners of Atlantis, we might as well get cushy jail cells."

( McKay hummed dismissively, casting his gaze over the surrounding troupe members as John smiled and rocked on the balls of his feet. "I think we could probably find something for you," the scientist replied, smirking. )

( "Jennifer and I want to marry," Rodney stated insistently. John scowled. "Yeah," he said, "and my answer's no. You want my blessing and I'm not giving it." He spoke to the shape of Rodney's body in the dark and the other man released a soft sound of protest. "Why?" he argued. "What reason could you possibly have—?" "You're a jerk," John cut him off. "And I don't want Jennifer marrying a jerk." )

( "Okay," Rodney said suddenly. He took a breath. "So, the reason you don't want Jennifer to marry me is this misguided notion you have that I'm a jerk." John bobbed his head in agreement, consulting the earthenware dish as he lifted it from the table. "So the only possible solution to our problem is to get you to get to know me better so you'll change your mind," he finished triumphantly and John set the dish down, his features darkening. He half turned to regard the other man with open disbelief. "And that makes sense to you?" he asked. Rodney snorted and grinned at John. He shook his head, eyes narrowed on John as though John were the one with bizarre notions. "Are you kidding?" he asked brightly. "Of course. It makes perfect sense." )

( "Ow. Ow," McKay hissed, tightly rewrapping a length of gauze around his palm. The old gauze was piled loosely on the tabletop, spotted with blood. "Jesus, McKay – let me do that," John interrupted impetuously, grasping the scientist's slender wrist with strong, unyielding fingers. He leant partly over the desk in McKay's office in the main tower. His forehead was close to McKay's as he quickly finished wrapping Rodney's hand. The scientist winced but didn't complain as John finished, staring down at his hand in John's. "What the hell happened?" John asked irritably. )

( "Would you just give that to me?" McKay demanded. McKay shouldered into his space, his body between John and the desk, his arm outstretched. Their chests brushed and a shock ran up John's spine, his heart thundering. For a moment, Rodney's fingers curled around John's knobby wrist and John's face flushed with heat and color. Suddenly, John was aware of Rodney with every inch of his body and his pulse pounded, like the refrain of a familiar song. He tried not to hold his breath as he cast his gaze over McKay's features, but he failed. His hazel eyes roved over Rodney's mouth, waiting for the other man to move. )

Her tone was like a hand on his shoulder, reassuring him, pressuring him. John fisted his hands on his hips, his eyes narrowed on her. "I think it's time that you accept that," Elizabeth said evenly. Her voice was always smooth and guiding. It became smoother and more leading the less John wanted to hear. "Look, Elizabeth, I don't wanna talk with you about this. I've explained it already. We travel through," he said scathingly. "We don't leave our people behind." )
