[The look on Poe's face seals it. A friend is what Poe needs right now, and a friend is what John's going to be. Nothing more, nothing less. Not unless Poe indicates otherwise. John's going to do his best not to be selfish.
It used to be easy, to put his friends first, and himself last. John doesn't know what's gotten over him lately. Whether it's losing Atlantis, and his people, or if it's just the nature of this place, where everyone is an outsider, and all anyone can do is cling to each other for comfort.
That, or John's just getting more lonely, and more screwed up with time. He can't blame Riverview for all his problems. Even back in Atlantis, everyone is shacking up, having babies, and getting married, or simply finding someone to keep them warm at night, but him.
He's too busy, or was. Now he has more time than he knows what to do with, and no one to spend that time with. There's Silva, and Rodney, but...
This isn't his pity party. He needs to keep his mind on track, for Poe's sake.]
It's not far from here, want to walk? I wouldn't mind the fresh air.
