Jennifer knew John was right. All of them did their part to protect each other, and the city. Looking down, she shrugged a little as she remembered what she had done on New Athos. She hadn't been thinking, and just acted. Jennifer looked up him, and smiled.
"You're right. All of us do what we have to do to protect others," she said, her hand still resting on his arm. She gave him a smile. "As for New Athos...I think Teyla wanted to kill me at first. I twisted my ankle, and slowed us down. But it worked out in the end."
When John asked his question, Jennifer softly laughed. She wanted to ask if they were in high school again, but then remembered she was barely twelve when she started high school. That didn't make her an expert. Yet, she still thought him asking was cute, and very John-like. Tilting her head, she ran her hand down his arm, and took his hand.
"Yes, I like you, John. I'm glad we're able to spend time together now since the only times I ever got to see you was during staff meetings, or when you got hurt," she said as she took a small step toward him. "This is nice, and I like spending time with you."
