"Apparently! I don't know!" Elizabeth might have been whining slightly. "Parker's suggesting drunken anonymous sources!"

"You haven't been the victim of any strange, near-fatal accidents yet today, have you?" asked Janet, gesturing Liz behind the Collections Desk. "I'm going to kill Callisto if she kills you. Parker asked me if the anonymous sources were on crack. I said they'd better be!"

"No, not yet. And I've even survived StuCo with both Angel and Callisto," Elizabeth replied, hurrying behind the Collections Desk. "Sources on crack works too! I wish I knew who they were!"

"That's kind of odd," said Janet. "Not that I'm not glad that there have been no mysterious impalements, beheadings, or immolations around you, but that's very odd." She frowned. "Callisto and Angel aren't breaking up the day before prom are they?" She frowned even more. "If they break up over Angel having a crush on you, that would be bad."

Elizabeth paled. "No, none of those," she said, eyes wide. "And I don't know! I've left the room for government and student council and now here! And it'd be very bad. Very, very bad!"

Janet took Liz's hand and squeezed it. "I'm sure it'll be fine." She smiled reassuringly. "I could always go explain very calmly to Angel how I'm sure his feelings are misplaced and they need to go away now."

Yes. Calmly. Which is why Janet's voice got a ~~lot~~ little more forceful there.

Elizabeth's eyes widened. "You don't really mean calmly, do you?"

"Of course I do," said Janet, in her best 'let's explain to Jack, Daniel, Sam, or Teal'c again exactly why staying in the infirmary is the best thing for them' voice.

So, no. Not calmly. But she was doing a halfway reasonable job at pretending to be calm. Also she wasn't letting go of Liz's hand quiet yet.

Elizabeth was actually quite scared of Janet now as well. But scared in a good way, considering she wasn't the one who needed to be scared of her. "Okay," she said in a small voice.

"I'm sure it'll be fine," said Janet. "StuCo and Government went okay, after all."

"I hid behind Parker in StuCo," Elizabeth admitted.

"You hid?" asked Janet, trying desperately to smother a grin.

"Well, not hid hid, but, um. Hid," Elizabeth looked sheepish.

"Because after facing down the Goa'uld, the Wraith, and who knows what else, you're afraid of Callisto?" asked Janet. And she wasn't amused at all.

Elizabeth nodded. "Yes. Have I mentioned how much I miss Major Lorne recently?"

"I don't think you've ever mentioned Major Lorne," said Janet. "Much less missing him."

Elizabeth looked innocent. "He was essentially my bodyguard when John wasn't around," she explained. "A very useful thing to have."

"Oh, when John wasn't around?" she asked, smiling. "You had a bodyguard?"

Elizabeth blushed slightly. "I did," she said. "Normally when I was off-world, trying to get Colonel Sheppard and his team out of trouble."

"That's actually quite understandable," said Janet. "And you know, you already told me about you and Colonel Sheppard having a thing back then."

"It wasn't a thing," Elizabeth said, still blushing slightly. "At least, it wasn't thing yet."

"How long have I known Sam and Jack? How happily engaged are the General and Lieutenant Colonel?" Janet shook her head. "Don't even try to fool me. Maybe there's a thing going on by now back there."

"Perhaps," Elizabeth admitted. "But that's not my life any more, and John Sheppard is not a part of my life here."

"I know," said Janet, nudging Liz with her shoulder and smiling at her. "For one thing, he wasn't our John Sheppard. For another, he's not here anymore anyway."

"No," Elizabeth smiled back at her. "Not that I had much to do with him when he was here, anyway."
