Duet Part 2 A.K.A. Awkward
Rodney had to admit, snapping at Elizabeth in the lab like he did was probably not the best way to ensure he stayed working on the Wraith Dart, but Cadman had such a special way of getting under his skin and irritating him like no one else could, not even Sheppard.
And now he had to go talk to Dr. Heightmeyer. Just. Great.
And as he ran his hand over the sensor to alert the doctor that someone was there to see her, he had a sudden thought. He really hoped Heightmeyer didn't mention his weekly visits.
The door opened and Kate Heightmeyer looked rather confused. Seeing the look on his face, she tilted her head to the side and stood to the side to let him in as she asked, "Rodney? It's not time for your weekly session yet, what's wrong?"
He really should have learned not to hope for anything by now.
Weekly session? Cadman asked, once again thoroughly intrigued. You come here every week?
Rodney froze mid-step and hung his head, letting out a sigh of frustration and trying unsuccessfully not to lose his temper again. "Yes," he sneered, looking off to the side away from Dr. Heightmeyer. "I come here every week, any other rather personal questions you'd like to ask, Cadman? Maybe you'd like to know just how bad my home life was?"
Damn it. He really didn't mean to say that.
But it did shut Cadman up for a moment. That was nice.
Dr. Heightmeyer looked rather confused at him talking to Cadman as if she was there. Rodney saw this and after a brief explanation they sat down to start the session.
One that was going to prove to be very awkward.
