Ronon walked through the door of the infirmary, holding his head and trying to stop the bleeding. It was not a big cut and to be honest he didn't think it needed treatment. The real reason he came to the infirmary was because he wanted to see Doctor Keller. He turned the corner to see both Teyla and Jennifer talking quietly amongst themselves. Teyla sat on the infirmary bed, a black strap tied round her left bicep. Doctor Keller squeezed a device in her hand, smiling as Teyla spoke. Ronon's eyes narrowed with worry for his friend. He made himself noticed.
"You in here again Teyla? You can seem to get out of here." The two women looked up, both smiles disappearing.

"Ronon" Teyla said surprised, jumping off the bed and removing the tight strap on her arm. She cleared her throat.
"I just came here to check something with my… um…" Teyla said, her smile had returned but this one was not as happy and loving as the last. It was forced and somewhat awkward. Ronon realized she had not finished her sentence and left him lingering.
"Got to go… bye" she said waving and rushed out the door. Beside him he heard Keller giggle.
"What's the matter with her?" he asked, Keller just smiled.

"What happened to you?" She answered, changing the subject completely.

"Kanan!" he snorted. Jennifer's eyes widened then shook her head.

"What did you do?"
"Why do you always assume it was something I did?" Keller giggled at Ronon's shocked look.
"Because it is normally you that says or does something to provoke him" Ronon sighed, Jennifer rolled her eyes.

"And because Teyla told me that Kanan is not one to resort to violence so quickly." the tone in Kellers voice was playful and Ronon couldn't help but smile. Doctor Keller shook her head.
"It looks fine, doesn't need stitches or a band aid" she said, referring to the small cut on his head.

"Thanks" he answer, then remembering something, turned around.

"Actually since I am here, I wanted to umm… ask you something" Ronon cleared his throat, rubbing the back of his head.

"What is it?" the doctor asked.

"Well there is a party coming up and well it one where a man goes with a woman and I was wondering if you would come… with me" Keller looked shocked at the question then smiled delightfully.

"Yes of course I would" Ronon smiled then left the room. Jennifer got back to work, a smile frozen on her face.

Rodney dawdled round his lab, typing various commands in to his computer. He was the only one in the room and that's how he liked it. Quiet and bearable. Picking up his sandwich he took a huge bite, washing it down with some freshly made coffee. It burned as it travelled down his throat, a sensation he had grown accustomed too. He didn't even bother to look up when he heard a knock on the door. Out of the corner of his eye he saw someone enter the room. The man did not introduce himself, but merely stood just inside the door, waiting to be addressed. Rodney sighed.
"I am a little busy here thank you" he said, again not looking up from his work. Kanan nodded his head,

"I can see that I just wanted to know if you have seen Teyla." He asked, Rodney looked up.

"Last time I saw her was in the mess, if she is not there I don't know where she is. I am a genius not a psychic" Rodney said dryly, then took another look at the man in front of him.

"You're Kanan right?"

"That is correct." Kanan answered, McKay nodded his head, smiling sadly.

"Its good you have shown up, Teyla hasn't exactly been herself lately, can't say I blame her though, if I was in her position I would probably be crying myself to sleep" Kanan raised an eyebrow at the comment, but listened patiently as Rodney droned on. "But she is a tough cookie" "Kanan did not understand the concept of 'tough cookie', but nodded anyway. Rodney opened his mouth to say something farther but Kanan raised a hand.
As much as I would like to stay and chat, I really must be going" he said and turned, starting through the door. Rodney smiled, nodding his head approvingly at the retreating mans back. A little laugh chuckle appearing deep in his throat.

"Nice guy" he said to himself and then got back to his work.

Kanan was getting frustrated, and even his patirnts could wear thin. He passed many scientist and marines on his way to the gateroom, nodding at each of them as he walked by. His side still ached and then many bruises he had received during his time in… where ever he was. It was really all a blur. He had no memory of what had happened to him and he was thankful for that. He was not really sure he wanted to know what had happened, considering the state he was in when he walked through the gate and in to the great city of Atlantis. He climbed the steps of the gateroom and strode down the long corridor, leading to Colonel Carters office. He knocked softly on the door and waited to be addressed. Sam looked up from the bright screen of her computer and smiled enjoyably.

"Kanan What can I do for you?" The Athosian stepped in to the room, hands clasped behind his back.

"I need to speak with Teyla, but I can not seem to find her, it is a matter of great importance" Suddenly Kanan was all business.

"Well maybe I can pass a message on to her."

Kanan nodded solemnly.
"Well he I have a lead to where our people have been taken"
