RP: When Twins Collide

[lt_nate]

Taking a later lunch than everyone else on the day-shift was the beauty of having some downtime, Nate mused. The choice of spots was a richer harvest, and he happily carried his tray to his favourite place by the railing that overlooked the pier. The fresh air was nice and the view was incredible; both worked to mitigate the mediocrity of the food that was served. Nate didn't mind. He loved being stationed here on Atlantis and with both his brother and his best friend off on missions with their respective teams, today also afforded him a nice modicum of peace and quiet.

Not that he minded the company of Tim and Jake, but he was very much his father's son when it came to being a bit of an introvert. He wasn't even through taking his first mouthful of food when his mind drifted to his plans of taking his book down to the northwest pier for the rest of the afternoon.

Asha nodded, "I'll pop in sometime. I normally do some of my meditation then, but you've got me curious now..." She smirked slightly, "and you know what they say about curious academics, don't you?"

"They get to be treated to breakfast," he joshed with a wink. "And we usually meditate prior to the ass-kicking, so you'll fit right in."

Asha grinned widely, "Exactly." She finished her drink, and smiled at him. "So what do you for fun on a floating city, Lt. Sheppard?"

"Going to the Tendol feasts, playing pranks on our parents, camping and surfing off the mainland, reading whatever I can get my hands on, and shooting the occasional golf ball off the pier." He would have added supply runs for his mom, in her galaxy, but he isn't sure how classified all that is still, so he says nothing. He does add, however, "Also, talking to beautiful linguists."

Asha smiled, "What do you like to read?" The golf ball thing sounded like fun - she'd have to try that sometime. Or get him to show her. The beautiful linguists remark had her blush slightly, she supposed it was part of the famous Sheppard charm.

He smiled at the slight blush, and shrugs at her question. "I'll try anything once. I'm not so much into the comics, like my dad and Tim, but I do read'em sometimes. More into graphic novels than comics. But otherwise I do classic lit, mostly. Some fantasy, and definitely science fiction. I found a couple of Ancient manuscripts in the database that were phenomenal."

Asha grinned, "I have a good collection of classics and scifi that I smuggled with me. If you want to look at them to see if you've not read any of them. " Her eyes lit up at the thought of Ancient manuscripts. "I'll even trade a few for those manuscripts you mentioned."

"Sure, and you're welcome to come check out my library and pilfer at will." He smiled, and after a moment or two it turned devious. "As for the Ancient manuscripts, they're yours if you join me for lunch every day this week, same time and place as today," he added, gesturing over his shoulder at his usual spot.

Asha shot him an amused look, "I think that can be arranged." She sat back, "So Lieutenant, did you have any plans after lunch?"
