239/240 - Wednesday afternoon

[notcalledlizzie]

Despite having been raised in New England, Elizabeth didn't really like snow. It was fine for skiing, say, but she was quite happy staying inside in the warmth and watching the snow from her window.

One might accuse her of hiding, but she'd prefer to call it strategic concealment.

"Stop hogging the camera," said a gruff voice. A dark arm came into view and nudged Radek. "Everyone needs a turn to say hi."

"Ronon!" exclaimed Elizabeth delightedly. "What are you on Earth for?"

[janet_fraiser]

Ronon looked awkward and scratched at the back of his neck. "Uh, we're actually on Atlantis right now. We're not supposed to be dialing in, but McKay said we wouldn't get caught."

"Thor called me from his ship once," offered Janet.

"Who's that?" demanded Ronon.

Elizabeth grinned. "My roommate," she said. "I take it you missed Rodney's ranting and raving earlier?"

"Actually Teyla and I just got here," said Ronon. "We were meditating."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet waved. "Hi. Dr. Janet Fraiser. Liz's roommate."

"She's a citrus-bearing demon!" Rodney exclaimed in the distance. "With needles."

Ronon laughed. "I like her already."

Elizabeth grinned. "Yeah, she's pretty easy to like," she said, glancing fondly across at Janet. "How did the meditating go? It doesn't seem to be your sort of thing really."

[janet_fraiser]

Ronon shrugged. "Teyla suggested it," he said.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"You know, I figured as much," said Elizabeth teasingly.

[janet_fraiser]

Teyla moved to stand next to Ronon. "He has stopped falling asleep every time," she said, looking smugly at him.

"That sounds as though it's a great improvement," said Elizabeth, smiling. "It's good to see you, Teyla."

[janet_fraiser]

"And it is good to see you, Elizabeth," said Teyla, smiling widely. "Perhaps in ten or twenty years, we will call and tell you Ronon has become accomplished at meditation."

"Hey!" Ronon frowned at Teyla, who looked serenely at him.

Elizabeth giggled. "I'm looking forward to that call already," she said.

[janet_fraiser]

"You can be assured that I will call you as soon as possible," said Teyla. "Though I expect that it will be some time. Happy birthday, Elizabeth."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, Teyla," said Elizabeth, smiling widely.

[janet_fraiser]

"Is it my turn yet?" asked Carson, trying to peer around Ronon's shoulder.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Carson!" exclaimed Elizabeth happily. "You're all there?"

[janet_fraiser]

"Just about everyone, lass," said Carson, shoving in between Ronon and Teyla and grinning at her. "Had to leave someone to man the fort. I see you're comfortably ensconced at your school for now. Tell me you're planning on celebrating your birthday."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Uh," began Elizabeth sheepishly. "Depends on what you mean by celebrate?"

[janet_fraiser]

"We're staying in and having dinner here," Janet said, looking up from her magazine. "There's a cake in the fridge."

"Shouldn't you be going out with friends instead?" asked Carson, looking worried.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth smiled softly. "I'm spending it with my best friend and cake," she said. "I'm really not complaining."

[janet_fraiser]

"If you're certain, Elizabeth," said Carson.

Janet grinned over at Elizabeth. "Best friend?" she asked, laying her head down on her arm.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth returned the grin. "Come on; who else is in contention for that particular honor?" she asked.

[janet_fraiser]

"I'm not sure," said Janet thoughtfully. "Maybe Parker? D'Anna?"

"Uh..." began Elizabeth sheepishly. "Depends on what you mean by celebrate?"
