prompt: Kate & John; Elizabeth

Lost In Space

"Keep thinking about a conversation I had with Elizabeth the first day we got here."

Kate kept quiet. John had been prowling around her office ever since he'd arrived on the pretext of discussing crew evaluations. At last what was really on his mind was coming out.

"I told her: You don't leave people in the hands of the enemy."

Abruptly, he sat down. "I shouldn't have...." He scrubbed a hand across his face. "And I keep forgetting. Keep.... Only reason I haven't mounted a rescue mission is I couldn't face the chewing out I'd get for risking more lives...."

that was such a powerful moment... such a hard one for Sheppard, I wish the show would've done more with it. *sigh*

powerful drabble, such emotions in 100 words. Lovely!

Thank you! I do think what they did do in the show was pretty powerful but it was another of those glossed over plot points that really should have been developed... *sigh*
