I think maybe everyone's a bit burnt out and miserable. Or doing exams. I wouldn't take it personal. I will try and do something, though, I swear. *moth flies around inside of head*
Once aboard the Daedalus, Elizabeth had ordered them all to take a few days to get some rest. This actually worked pretty well, since there wasn't a lot John could do onboard except meet with Lorne, and they didn't have much to meet about until Lorne had a chance to read all the reports and get up to speed on Atlantis' security situation

They arrived at Atlantis in the middle of the third week, and when the Daedalus beamed them down to the gate room, and John did not give way to the impulse to yell, "Honey, I'm home!"
The Daedalus had sent a message as soon as it had gotten close to the system, and the place was packed with expedition members, Athosians, refugees, and overexcited kids.
Lorne was the only new arrival. Colonel Carter, Carson's new medics, and some of the other Daedalus tech crew who wanted tours were coming down in the next wave, after the Atlanteans had a chance to get the supplies beamed down, scanned, and sorted out. In a way, this was good, because as John's new second in command, Lorne was of interest to everybody and John found himself making separate introductions to about a hundred Athosians

As John gently detached him, Tellan said, "The others said that the evil Earth people would keep you, Major Sheppard."
Lorne didn't shift uncomfortably, but he looked like he wanted to. John winced, and said, "Yeah, we'll discuss that later."
"You need to call him Colonel Sheppard now," Bates told them.
All the Nones looked dubious. Some of them shook their heads. One of the Nones wrapped around John's leg and looked up at him with wide eyes. "Why did they change your name?"
"Major wasn't my name, it was a title. Remember, we went over all that before?" John had a sudden brilliant idea. "This is the new Major, Major Lorne. He's in charge of you now."
Lorne managed not to look appalled. "Right, uh, hi," he said to the Nones, smiling.
The Nones stared in horror, and shuffled closer to John and Bates. "Christ," Bates muttered.
Okay, that didn't go like I hoped it would. John thought

There was continued exclamations over all the extra "supplies." The Athosians who were in charge of the refugee settlement were very happy to see all the kids' clothes and baby stuff. Rodney forgave O'Neill for the karaoke machine when they found all the ice cream makers. There were several big crates marked for Medical that Beckett opened, looked very startled at the contents, and immediately sent them away to the Infirmary Supply area.
John had gotten a call from Stackhouse and started out, when Ronon stopped him in the doorway. Ronon uncharacteristically hesitated, seemed to turn over several possible remarks, then finally said, "They said you might not come back."
"Who said?" John asked.
Ronon shrugged noncommittally. John figured he wouldn't get it out of him; Ronon was no snitch. He said, "Yeah, well, it was close, for a while there. But Dr. Weir got it worked out."
Ronon hesitated again. Okay, John thought, There's definitely something wrong. "What's up?" he asked

Yay! Much awesome. Love Lorne's reactions to seeing how everyone fits in together and his impression of Sheppard. Intergalactic feudal warlord is right!! :)
