"Hmmm...I like that idea," John told his wife with a grin.
Down in the dining hall, he caught Fred's brief thought of teasing him there at the table but was glad that she didn't. He wasn't sure he could have managed to get through dinner if she had done that because after being together for more than two years and being connected the way they were, she knew just how to get to him. Of course, he wouldn't have it any other way. There was something wonderful about having someone who knew him so well.
He had just taken a bite of his salad when Sam asked about his team going to Lantea. With a glance over at Fred, he nodded. "We were planning on leaving first thing in the morning. Figured we'd jump to M-304 and then head to Lantea from there."
"Sounds good. Just be careful. Given what Alex said happened in the original timeline, I don't want us to end up in the middle of something we're not ready for."
"Don't worry," John told her. "We'll be careful. Promise."
Sam nodded, and once she and Carson had finished with their dinners, they headed out. A few moments later, Rodney came in, grabbed a tray and looked at them before hurrying back out again.
"See you tomorrow, Rodney!" John called after him before he disappeared. Shaking his head, he looked over at Fred. "Guess he's going to be busy tonight."
