Just two vampires, traveling the galaxy... [For Todd the Wraith]
[continued from here]
It was a pleasant surprise to glance over and see Todd asleep on the bed, relaxed and peaceful. He can't have gotten much quality rest the night before propped up in the chair as he had been, certainly not when he'd been woken by her nightmare. She hoped that didn't happen again tonight, he had important things to take care of tomorrow; she didn't know all of the details, but with a civil war going on between his people, he needed his wits about him.
To that end, Rogue forced herself to stay awake for hours into the night, eating the dinner he'd brought for her and looking through one of the books from the collection he'd shown her before their sparring session. She didn't recognize anything on the pages, but it gave her a topic for conversation with the voices in her head, providing ample entertainment to pass the time. Eventually she fell asleep herself, the book held carefully to her chest as she curled up in the armchair, her boots set on the floor beside it. It was a fairly deep sleep, and she didn't dream for one of the first times in many weeks, something she was eternally grateful for when she awoke.

"Good. And you're welcome." he chuffed, then got up off the couch "Now I think you should get back to your room before the marine asks what's going on." he said. Also so that she could explode with her emotions in private.
"Tomorrow we'll be up early starting the inoculations. Sheppard seemed quite fine with your company so I'm sure he wouldn't mind giving you the tour...Or Teyla Emmagan. You could probably use some female company after the last few weeks" he chuckled.
Wraith females and queens tolerated one another when there wasn't a territorial dispute, but preferred isolation from other females. Female humans on the other hand seemed to crave to be together. And as Ronon wasn't the warmest of people and McKay wanted little more than to question Rogue about every minute detail of her earth, it was better to stick with the colonel or the wraith sensor.
