Kate doodled on her note block as she only half listened to Elizabeth arguing with Kavanagh. Once in a while her gaze drifted to her left, where Teyla was playing with a small paper airplane Sheppard had folded earlier. She smiled as Teyla swatted Ronon's hands away, keeping her little plane safe. She turned her gaze back to her block and blinked shocked at her doodles, little hearts surrounding Teyla's name. She ripped the page off, causing a little pause in the discussion, blushing a little. She hid the piece of paper in her pocket and started on a fresh page.

There was a tug on her sleeve and as she turned Teyla pointed at her pen. She offered the pen up, and watched with amusement as the Athosian started to personalize the plane. Her heart fluttered when she noticed the name of the flying machine, Kate. The pen was rolled back and Teyla smiled as she launched the little thing back in John's direction.

"And we will not speak of it again." Elizabeth ended the discussion and turned to the rest of the people. "The IOA wants to know of our progress here and it's important that our reports are as accurate as possible. Am I making myself clear?" Elizabeth glared at John, who was about to send the plane in the air again. He sat the little paper plane down and looked genuinely sorry. "That's it then." She nodded and everybody promptly started to file out.

Now Kate! Kate grabbed her stuff together, got up and turned to Teyla. "Tey..." She started but was met with Ronon staring back at her.

"Doc?" He smiled sheepishly.

"R-Ronon…" She stuttered, looking up at him. He didn't blink as he looked back. "I..." She fumbled with her note block. "I should go." Kate smiled, turned and all but ran out of the briefing room.
Damn it!
