Selen had bundled him up with attentive care, but Radek still shivered a bit as he stepped out of the tent at Selen's side and felt the chill air on his face, and the sharply chill breeze stealing away the warmth from the outer layers of his garments. ( Unthinking, he stepped in closer to Selen... )

John walked into the center of the camp, looking for Selen after his conversation with Elizabeth. He asked a few people, who all shook their heads. Frustrated, he headed in the direction of Charin's tent. He paused outside, not sure how to proceed, then settled on clearing his throat. "Hey, uh, it's Major Sheppard. Can I come in ( Read more... )

Ridley stepped back and surveyed the camp area. The three boys had been quite hard-working in clearing the snow and now the camp was surrounded by groups of snowmen and snow forts and other creations. Within its boundaries, they'd staked areas for designated purposes-- the largest for where tents would be erected, and other areas for food ( Read more... )

Ridley couldn't help smiling as Tormin let out a gasp of delight as the jumper took off over the water toward the Mainland. "Flying is fun, isn't it, ekse?"

Ridley still had trouble believing this was all real.

By the time Ridley got examined, X-rayed, wrapped, and crutched, everyone else was through the post-mission check-out and had already headed off to various and assundry places. Ridley's thoughts kept skipping between what had happened between Tim and himself and how utterly insane it was, how much pain he was in, and how he was going to accomplish ( Read more... )

Tim had radioed Parrish about his need to change their lunch plans and was glad when the other man offered an alternative plan. He would need to try and make it up to Tormin, though. After all, he was a man of his word. He made his way easily enough to the area designated as Athosian and looked for Parrish or Tormin.

Tim walked into the mess full of nerves and knew it was all because of Ridley Parrish. He'd led teams before and never felt nervous before. Parrish, though, aroused him and made Tim all the more aware of his status as a gay man. Sighing as he went over to a section of the mess that he could rearrange for them, he berated himself over his interest ( Read more... )
