Done with the day
Addie's hip was going to bruise. She knew it, because she was the one that had fallen onto the fallen branch when they were trying to make their way up along the mountainside. The second she had lost her footing, Teyla had reached to grab her, but it wasn't quick enough and when her ankle gave slightly she smacked hard against the branch. She was still thinking about it on their way back to the Gate. Her palm rubbing into her side every once in a while trying to get the blood to flow more than just clot there and bruise up. The last thing she wanted was a weak spot, especially if she wanted to keep her training up with Teyla.
"Aedeline, if you are concerned I would suggest you see Dr. Beckett when we return. He could give you something to numb it, or perhaps assist with the bruising." Teyla's suggestion was taken to heart with a nod, and she appreciated the concern that the woman showed but it was getting late, and she hadn't expected to be offworld for this long as it was. They had been scheduled to return to Atlantis over an hour ago, but there had been some trouble with a local village, and Teyla had been trying to speak with their leaders. Everything had settled, but by then it was already past their scheduled arrival.
Addie just wanted to go to sleep. Her schedule had been so off kilter the past week with her shifts swapping from days to nights to overnights, that she wanted something to finally be consistent. She had spoken to Dr. Weir about it that morning, and hopefully her schedule would show some change for the next week, because it was a small request all things considered.
By the time she caught up to the group they had already begun the dialing sequence, and established a contact with Atlantis. Teyla explained the delay, and within a few minutes the Gate was open and everyone was returning home.
The second Addie stepped onto the main floor she bent down to yank her boots off. Teyla placed a comforting hand to her shoulder and smiled softly to her, as if she could understand the desire to be without shoes for a moment. Addie knotted the laced together and swung them over her shoulder on the way to drop off all her equiptment. When she was finally free of it all she leaned against the wall in the hallway for a moment. Closing her eyes and tipping her head back she could feel her ponytail pressing against the back of her head, until she pushed off the wall and headed toward quarters.
She was exhausted, but she also knew that Jim had been on duty when she left, and that he was probably asleep by now. He had been up early, and despite those odd sleeping habits of his, she was pretty sure he was at least trying to sleep by now. Instead of heading to her own room she opted to head to Jim and Mike's room. Her hand waving to the controls letting herself in, and setting her shoes along the wall. As she tugged her pants off her hips and pulled her hair loose she moved quietly not to wake up Mike, and slipped into bed beside Jim pressing up along his back. Her hand reached across his side pulling herself close to him, and placing a kiss to his shoulder. She wasn't even sure he was really sleeping, but if he was she wouldn't have minded waking him up.
