Hi! You're back! And feeling better, I hope to god.
*hugs you*
Actually, that's a freakishly good summary of John's character in general.
*nods*
He shows how smart he is by routinely outsmarting himself. He's a complicated man. (I can hear Rodney explaining this to him now:
Rodney: But - everyone knows you're gay! Everyone!
John: Well, I don't know it, so I guess everyone is wrong. Wait, what do you mean everyone knows it? Have you been telling someone your crazy theories?
Rodney: First of all, Colonel, my theories are never crazy - well, except when they have to explain the craziness that is our life in Pegasus, but trust me, they're as sane as I can make them under the circumstances. And second, no, I didn't have to tell anyone about your obvious gayness, because that's what obvious means: no one has to be told! Everyone just knows!
John: McKay, I swear to god, if you tell anyone back on Atlantis anything that took place today, I will hunt you down like a dog. That goes for all of you. TELL NO ONE. ANYTHING.
[There is a thoughtful pause.]
Ronon: Seems like we'll have to mention the marriage, though. To Elizabeth, anyway.
Teyla, very seriously: But if you prefer, John, we will be happy to tell her that it was purely for diplomatic reasons, just as we have the last eleven times.
[There is a pause while Sheppard visibly represses and McKay strolls happily along.]
Ronon, whispering to McKay: So. Are you going to change your last name? Or is Sheppard?)
