Room 313- Monday after classes

Jaina would never have believed she could even think it, but she was sort of glad to be able to get to Fandom after spending Thanksgiving with the family, because now she could get back to her routine. Especially now that her routine was beginning to become less about distraction and more about training again as she adjusted to certain new realities.

Too bad her routine got shot to hell today by a rare bout of oversleep coupled with work calls she had to take care of, so she didn't get to go for her workout till after class. Afterwards, she came back to her room, opened the water bottle on her desk, and went to drink from it-

"Ugh," she said, pulling it away from her mouth after tasting what was actually inside. It wasn't that it was bad, it was just that she needed actual water after that much time in the gym, not egg nog. Deciding that maybe she'd just head for the shower instead, it was a really good thing she ran the water before stepping in.

Fine. She'd just change clothes and stay sweaty today. Thanks, Fandom!

John crinkled his nose, "Ugh, chlorine. I hate that smell."

"Luckily I can't smell my own hair," he replied. "But I'd say mixed with shampoo the chlorine would likely win."

"More like you'd enjoy seeing me get kicked out of a pool for bringing in shampoo," John said, shaking his head at her. "I know your MO."

It would be great, John knew this. "Not under fear of death," he teased.

"Hey, it's what friends are for," he promised, enjoying their conversation about egg nog far more than he'd enjoyed attempting to explain what was happening to his wife. Maybe that said something. "So, it's December there already, huh?"

"Well, egg nog flowing like water jogged my memory of long ago when it was evil hot chocolate in the showers," John clarified, almost wishing he was back there to experience it properly and not in this odd bastardized form of insanity. "So, December in Fandom was the logical answer."

"Hey, there's no forgetting some things," he said, totally meaning everything about her. Which was probably why he shouldn't let himself dial her number.

There were terrible things wrong with feeling pangs for your high school ex-girlfriend who was still actually in high school. "I'm not that old...what was your name again? Something with a nuh..."

"Months, huh?" Really, he had no control over the smiling. "Oh, look at that, months for me, moments for you - it was Sarah, right?"

John laughed his odd, dorky laugh. "Sarah's too common a name for you."

"Lots of little Jaina's running around the galaxy would be pretty terrifying," he decided. And really, like John needed a reminder of how the two of them could have had children. "You might end up as generic as a John."

"I'm certainly the only John Sheppard you know," he said, and really, being just friends would have been easier if there'd been fighting involved with their breakup.

Right about then, John realized he was probably the worst husband ever for keeping this conversation going given how these conversations with Jaina always used to go. "So, how's this Jaina gonna do for finals?"

"It sounds like no time at all." Too bad he wished it was just equal time. "Remember, to be a true senior you gotta skip a few classes and lay around campus with books on your face to make the underclassmen nervous about how this stuff really works."
