"Daniel"

"What?"

"You wanna take a walk with me?" Tiffany asks.

"Yeah, sure" he says getting up. "Are we uh, going anywhere specific?" he asks.

"I wanna go see john" she says taking Daniel's hand as they walk down the hallway. Daniel looks down at her, immediately knowing why she wanted his company.

"Ok, we'll go see John" he says softly.

"Johnny" Tiffany states jokingly.

"Hey guys" he says smiling, sitting up in his bed.

"How's the leg?" Daniel asks before Tiffany gets the chance.

"Painkillers are a wonderful thing" He says fixing the blanket over his legs. "What are you guys doin' down here" "Oooh, We were in the area, thought we'd stop by, maybe have a cup of tea" John chuckles

"Anyone ever tell you you're your father's daughter?"

"I do... everyday" Daniel says smiling sheepishly.

"Yes i get that a lot" Tiffany says laughing. She stops, looking around the room. Finally it kicks in, the room seems empty, barren; though it housed plenty of sick Atlantis residents and doctors.

"You ok?" John asks looking at her seriously.

"Yeah i'm fine, just can't get used to Carson not being here"

"Yeah, it is kinda weird without him" John agrees.

"I keep expecting to hear that scottish accent of his" She reminisces.

"But, i gotta say, Keller's a good person, and a good doctor too" John says putting a good word in for the new Atlantis Chief of Medical doctor. Tiffany smiles and Daniel watches her face, trying to read her.

"So you gonna make Daniel deal with McKay and Ronon by himself tomorrow" Tiffany teases.

"Nah.. i'll be out of bed and ready to go tomorrow morning"

"With My permission" Jennifer adds walking over.

"I'll be out don't worry" John assures. "Heck why not let me out now?" He begs Dr. Keller.

"Nope sorry"

"Aw come on Doc"

"No" She says writing something down on a clipboard and walking away.

Colleen kicks with her right leg, then punches with her left arm, both moves blocked by Major Lorne. He grabs her leg when she tries again, twisting it quick, she lands face down on the floor.

"You're rough" she says

"Are you kidding me? This is me going easy on you" he says helping her get up.

"You have a funny definition of easy" she says walking over to her water bottle and sipping it.

"I am a military officer" he states bluntly.

"So you keep reminding me" He walks up to her, squeezing her bottle, she takes the bottle out of her mouth and water soaks her face. Thank god this tank top is black she thinks as she makes what she hopes is an astonished expression on her face. "Not funny" Lorne laughs as she takes his water bottle and squirts from his face down to about mid-stomach.

"Thank you" he says wiping the water from his face with a towel he proceeds to place around his neck.

"So, can i see your paintings?" she asks

"Yeah, sure.. come on" he says throwing his towel at her and walking toward the door. She brings the towel up to her face to dry herself, his scent imprinted in the fabric. He smells so good she thinks to herself, holding the towel there a few seconds longer, trying to remember the scent.
