It was later on in the afternoon and Rodney's head hurt. Not just from the multiple knocks it had taken today, but from the sheer amount of emotional crap that had come out. Seriously, he'd had no idea Sheppard was even capable of feeling such...feelings, but he had and he'd been very...vocal about it.

So had Rodney, come to think of it.

Oh, God.

The morning had been a little... strange, to say the very least, but Jill wasn't quite sure what to make of any of it and so she'd fled. She hadn't actually run away, but she'd hurried away from the Compound at a very brisk pace and had somehow gone straight past her hut -- just in case Lucifer followed her there -- and had somehow ended up in New Atlantis.

Maybe Carson would give her asylum.

"Rodney," she said, sounding surprised to see him. This was probably a really terrible situation.

Rodney started and lifted his head, poised in fight-or-flight mode until he saw Jill instead of Sheppard or Carson or somebody else more embarrassing.

"Oh," he said. "Hey, uh, Jill. What...what are you doing here?"

He really hoped Sheppard hadn't sent her to talk to him. He thought everything had been worked out, apart from the crippling embarrassment factor. And, well, the lasting trauma, of course.

"Avoiding the Compound," Jill answered abruptly, although that wasn't what she'd been preparing herself to say. A small frown creased her forehead and she opened her mouth again for a moment, then shook her head, looking confused. It was what she was doing, though, so she decided to let it slide.

"Walking away from it at a quick pace," she added with a soft laugh.

"Ah? Oh. I see," said Rodney, who didn't. Presumably she hadn't run into Sheppard then, since they'd left the compound some hours before.

He wondered if she knew about the whole truth-telling thing, whatever it was.

"Why?" he prompted, after a moment. Maybe she'd bumped into someone also affected and had fled in terror.
