John smiled and nodded at her words. They were a good team.
"Teyla would never do something like that", John assured her. "And it's not your fault you strained your ankle. Besides, you probably didn't even complain half as much as McKay would have", he added with a smirk.
John had meant that question more in a teasing way, but the way she answered made him wonder if maybe she did like him a bit more than just anyone else. But she didn't actually say that. She just said she liked him and liked spending time with him. She could have said the same to Teyla for example.
She however did stand really close to him and John noticed that he could close the distance easily and just kiss her. He wanted to. His eyes were fixed on her face and he started to lean in when he suddenly saw movement to their left in the corner of his eye. He turned quickly and then realized that it was just a bird. A very colorful tropical bird. Damnit, he thought.
John turned back to Jennifer. The moment had passed and he suddenly wasn't so sure anymore if kissing her would be a good idea. They were working together after all. And she might not like him in that way. It could turn out awkwardly if he kissed her and she wasn't into it. She could like Rodney after all, or Ronon. At the very least his two best friends seemed to have a crush on her. He shouldn't get involved in that. It just wasn't a good idea.
He slowly took a step back and rubbed his neck. "We should probably head back. We need to get ready for the self defense lesson." He wanted to take a shower and get something to eat before they went there.
