"What runs through my mind? Well...Rodney probably either figuring out an excuse not to go, or complaining the entire time. He's not gonna play golf with me," he says with a very fond smirk. "As much as I want him to. I could buy a couple of RC cars and go RC car racing with him, now that's something he would jump at."
The fondness on Sheppard's face is evident, there in the way he talks about Rodney, in imagining some perfectly ordinary activities that don't involve horrible Entity-related disasters or arguing because of said horrible Entity-related disasters. The kind of all-encompassing fondness that's borne from someone who loves another very much.
John goes quiet a moment, staring at something that wasn't there, either forgetting Elidibus was in the room for a moment or just...drifting off.
Maybe he had forgotten how to have fun.
When was the last time he had any fun like this?
Could he even allow himself to? Could he even afford to 'take a day off' right now, as it were? This was war, wasn't it? In its own way, and if he let his guard down even once...
"This world sucks," he mutters, quite suddenly, brought back to the present.
