John came back from the bathroom and walked towards the bar. Picking up his beer he glanced around. There were some new people there. Lee had started to play darts with one of them. He seemed more relaxed today, which was a good thing.
Feeling a little lonely at the bar John walked over to Lee and the new guy.
"Making new friends?", he asked Lee with a smile. Then he glanced at the stranger. He definitely hadn't seen him before, so he probably arrived not too long ago.
"Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard", he introduced himself as he took in the mans clothing. A smile appeared on his face. He had a feeling that this guy was from earth.
"You're from earth, right?", he asked hopefully. He was used to being around aliens, but some more people from earth would be nice. Someone who might understand what he was talking about.
