Heart-to-Heart (for colonelinblack)
There seemed to much more going on under the surface of daily life on Atlantis than Teyla was aware of. Usually she had always had a bead on the finer workings of the politics that governed the Earth-people's relations with each other, but her being away so frequently in the last months, and the side-effects of her budding relationship had clouded her preception enough that she had completely missed the undercurrents. There was a delicate pressure building, and where she had once though it to be building between everyone, it had finally come to her attention that it was really building between her and John.
They were keeping secrets from each other, and while they had their past mysteries that didn't merit mentioning during the course of their firendship, this was different. This was something bigger, something that she suspected would alter the course of their friendship forever. And she suspected it might be due to her own concealed knowledge rather than his.
..Scratch that. She knew it would be due to her own concealed knowlege rather than his. While she hadn't done anything overtly dangerous to the safety of those she cared most about, she had kept a very dangerous secret, the partiuclars of whicvh she should have approached Colonel Sheppard with at the onset and not now, several months down the line.
It was time for them to ignite the building pressure and illuminate things before it became to late and rendered the fall-out irreparable.
She decided the best place for the shouting-match discussion was on one of the lesser used piers - and certainly not the pier favoured by nearly everybody; she couldn't taint the beloved area with what was about to happen - and so she sat cross-legged in light meditation, the mild breeze from the ocean dropping a cool mist of ocean water over her face as she waited for the one person she considered a friend closer than kin to arrive.
She prayed to the Ancestors that this would go well.
