Calvin took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes and the back of his nose as he powered down his console. McKay had been in an awful bad mood this afternoon. Actually he'd been in a bad mood the last few days and took it out on everyone breathing in the lab.

Calvin's grin grew broader the closer he got to his rooms. No, their rooms. He'd have to talk to Dr Grodin the next day, to see if they could get bigger rooms. A single room for three was getting a bit tiny. There should be enough rooms left now, and he assumed that the Ancients weren't living like monks. There had to be bigger, more comfortable rooms.

It couldn't hurt to have a second bedroom, too. If Traan decided to bring Kia back to Atlantis, she needed her own bedroom. He wasn't happy with the decision to send her away, but maybe it was for the best, at least for now. They were still new to each other, and had a lot of things to settle. Chuck had only been recently released from the infirmary. He wasn't out of danger yet, he still could fall back into the old pattern and pop pills. But he'd make sure that nothing bad happened to him, or Traan.

Calvin felt a tingle of anticipation as he got closer to home. He tried to picture Chuck and Traan, kneeling by the door as he'd instructed them. Would they actually kneel by the door and wait for him? Calvin slowed down his pace. Chuck and he had been playing around a bit, but that was definitely new.

He stopped at the door, shifting the tray in his hands, and nervously waved his hand over the opening mechanism.
