Ronan walked towards the door. Just as he was about to leave he turned back to face Teyla.
"Are you claimed?"
"Excuse me?" Teyla could hardly believe that Ronan was asking her if she was claimed. She'd only known him for a few days.
"Are you claimed?"
"No not yet." Teyla looked uncomfortable at expressing aspects of her personal life to others. "Ronan I am honoured…" Ronan saw she had misinterpreted what he'd said, so he decided to cut in before she embarrassed herself.
"I only ask because Sheppard defended you as if you were his." Teyla blushed. "And you defend him as if he is your mate." If Teyla could turn any deeper shade of red, she had just done so.
"Colonel Sheppard and myself share a respect…"
"You don't need to explain Teyla." She raised an eyebrow at him. "You act like mates, your strength compliments each other."
"Thank you Ronan."
"You want to be claimed by him, to be his mate." Teyla discovered Ronan could be able to tell what she was thinking.
"Yes." She answered truthfully. "I care for him deeply."
"He feels the same Teyla." Teyla looked up shocked at the revelation. "On Sateda these things were noticeable." The door to Teyla's room slid open to reveal Colonel John Sheppard carrying his training bag.
"Sorry I'm late…" He panted, and then trailed off seeing Ronan in Teyla's room.
"Thank you Ronan…" Teyla began.
"No problem. Sheppard, Teyla." Ronan nodded to each of them before leaving the two of them alone together in the room.

"What was he doing in your room?" Teyla was pleasantly surprised to see the jealously that flared in John's eyes.
"He came to talk to me about your 'tests'." John looked confused for a moment.
"He thinks we're testing him?" Teyla nodded. "Still why was he in your room?"
"I just answered your question Colonel Sheppard." Teyla grew angry at the tone he was taking with her. "Are you insinuating that Ronan and I…" John couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked in the soft light that filled her room.
"No, no, Teyla I'm sorry." John stepped forward. "I just put two and two together and made five." Teyla looked at him confused. "I jumped to conclusions." He clarified. "I mean him being in here, you giving up our sparing session for him, your outfit…"
"What about my outfit?" He knew he'd said too much in front of her.
"Its lovely Teyla…" He began to cover.
"It is a low cut top." She conceded. Watching his face carefully, "But if you remember I was scheduled to be sparring with you today."
"You wore that outfit for me?" John's voice rose in pitch and he blushed as did Teyla. She nodded slightly, all the time keeping her gaze fixed on the floor.
"I'm one lucky guy." Teyla lifted her head and Sheppard quickly captured her lips with his.
