"No"
Halling's reaction was pretty much how Elizabeth expected it to be.
John was trying to convince Halling and the Athosians to go to Atlantis.
"We have lived with the animals for generations."
"Halling."
Elizabeth stood beside Halling
"Jinto has already been hurt. I understand that you don't want to leave the mainland but this may be a creature that didn't exist on your world, but it exist here and it's a danger to your people. Allow us to protect you. If Major Sheppard can guarantee that the creature as been eliminated I will allow you to return, but I don't want your lives to be in danger."
Halling turned round to face the Athosian people who had gathered behind him and then to his son.
"I will ask them, but I can not promise that all will agree to go."
Elizabeth smiled
"All I ask is that you tell them it's to protect them."
Halling nodded and turned to the Athosian's. John and Elizabeth decided to leave them alone and they began to short walk to the Puddle Jumper.
When they were a far enough distance from the camp John whispered into Elizabeth's ear.
"Have I ever told you how hot it is when you do that Diplomatic speech thing?"
Elizabeth turned to him and grinned suggestively
"Oh yes, I'm very aware."
John stood behind Elizabeth and wrapped his arms around her waist determined not to let her break free. He dipped his head into her neck and began to kiss his way down her collarbone.
She kept walking so it was difficult for him to get a proper grip on her. When they reached the Puddle Jumper he wasn't even aware…
"John?"
He just murmured a response. When he was with Elizabeth, he always found it hard to string together a coherent sentence.
Elizabeth was also beginning to lose fight of the battle. She always battled for control with John and she usually lost. He could send her into a spiralling hole that she couldn't get out of. It was like nothing she'd ever experienced before.
"John…God…we're at the Puddle Jumper."
John continued unaware she'd even spoken to him.
"Major Sheppard, Dr Weir this is Atlantis base."
That not so sweet voice broke them both out of the ecstasy they were in; the voice was coming over the communication device that'd they'd set up between the Mainland and Atlantis.
Elizabeth moved over to the device
"This is Dr Weir."
"Ma'am, we have a situation on Atlantis."
John could clearly hear now that the person who'd broken the moment between him and Elizabeth was St Bates.
'I've really got to bust that…"
"John."
John was pulled out of his thoughts by Elizabeth's sweet voice. John turned to her and flashed a killer smile.
"John, we have to go back to Atlantis."
"Why?"
"Bates has a suspicion that there's a thief on Atlantis."
