That was it? How... disappointing. Maybe it was a Wraith thing, or a Todd thing. Or maybe she was just out of practice. She'd have to try again, see if she could figure out which it was.

"I'll keep that in mind," she commented with slightly narrowed eyes, playfully of course. She may have felt like death run over, but the company was pleasant enough to balance out the evening.

Rogue was about to make her second attempt at getting under Todd's skin when Sheppard appeared at their table, depositing a small plate at Rogue's elbow. Her eyes widened at the slice of chocolate cake resting there and she turned a very questioning gaze up to the colonel.

"After the day you've had, I figured you could use some cake," he said with an easy shrug, then turned with a grin toward Todd. "Sorry Todd, last piece."

Rogue called his attention back by spearing a forkful of the moist, fluffy chocolate creation and audibly moaned in pleasure as it practically melted on her tongue. From the way Sheppard's eyebrows shot up, it may have been bordering on inappropriate for public ears. As if she really cared.

Pointing her fork at the colonel, she informed him, "Remember that marriage proposal I mentioned earlier? I'm picking out the ring tomorrow."

Sheppard just chuckled at that and shook his head. "I'm looking forward to it," he told her before excusing himself and leaving them to their own devices again.
