" sorry? " he blinks up at her sheepishly, coffee mug clutched in his hand. it's his third - no, fourth - cup already this morning. he'd been here all night, poring over a series of tablets sg-14 had brought back from their last trip off-world. the contents weren't exactly earth-shattering to, well, earth, but he was this close to cracking the local dialect... and that was more than worth the loss of a little sleep...

at least he'd thought so. that was until sam had taken a seat across from him in the mess, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and far too full of jargon for the early hour. god, he was starting to sound like jack...

" sorry, sam - you're uh- you're going to have to run that one by me again, " he says, pushing his glasses up his nose to rub his eyes.

starter call -> @sostarry

the last thing he'd expected when he heard a pounding at his door was a disgruntled blonde. well , no. he expected a pissed blonde , just not this one. he'd explained where his boss was , rubbing the sleep from his eyes , hoping that would be the end of it and he could get back to his bed. alas , it's never that simple is it ?

" when were you planning on telling me? "

" hey , i can't read minds , " he puts his hands up , a surrounder. he could be as glib as he wanted , but he knew better than to get @sostarry upset. with a yawn , he takes a step back , a silent invitation for her to come in. might as well. not like he was trying to get a good night's sleep or anything. " i thought jim woulda told you he'd taken the midnight patrol. "

"this isn't like saying betelgeuse three times, there's more to getting rid of this thing."

@sostarry, starter call.

His lips pinched, fingers twitching to reach out and grip Weir's shoulder. A friendly embrace to spark encouragement. There was a reason Sheppard had so many discipline strikes against his person; he hated politics. He held no envy for Elizabeth.

"You know, all you have to do is say go and I'll go kick there asses." He flashed a cheeky grin as he lounged in @sostarry office chair. "Or, we can grab a snack at the mess." He shrugged. "I'm open to both."

❛ now, I said no such thing. ❜ beneath a veneer of indignation — and of warning not to put words in his mouth — lies amusement. ❛ so when your friends later try to pin this little plan of yours on me, just remember: it was all yours. ❜ all hers, inspired perhaps by a very lose interpretation ( a very wrong interpretation ) of his own suggestion. his complicity is merely in that he did not object, a choice he stands by.

⤷ ✧ @sostarry liked for a starter.

⤷ ✧ @sostarry said, ❝ it's not safe for us to be here. we need to go. ❞ for flynn from lucy.

❛ oh? I hadn't noticed. what gave it away? was it the bullets? ❜ the words are reflex, but they leave a twinge of guilt in their wake. she is not deserving of his ill humor. ❛ what did you say to them, lucy? ❜

he half-teases — this is unlikely to be her fault — though he had, for once, thought his plan simple enough not to go awry. eventually, if he's smart, he might learn to cease considering any plan interference-proof.

or bad luck proof.

⤷ ✧ @sostarry said, ❝ i keep having these memories from when i was a kid. ❞ ( from lucy )

the past haunts. the good, the bad. above all, the way the one morphs into the other and taints it irretrievably. perhaps traveling in time ought to put it all into perspective, to make one realize that in the grand scheme of things, their small lives are mere seconds. that in light of time's surprising ( and infuriating ) stability, their actions become insignificant. how many times had a life cut short or irrevocably altered, failed to have a momentous, transformative effect on history as they know it?

he thinks, though, that it does the opposite. it makes their losses all the more significant, and she has as many holes in her life as any of them. ❛ of your sister? your mother? ❜ he guesses, and wonders which is the worse.

Ship?

Ofc. River and literally every woman on your muse list is a great combo.
