Kelsey sighed and walked into the messhall. Carson had finally let her go, after she convinced him that she really did have a full night's sleep and she was hungry. Even though it was now dinner time, Kelsey was very much hungry.
Surveying the room she noted certain cliques as she would classify them. But then she noticed the one person who sat alone picking at his food. Deciding it was time to make a friend, Kelsey quickly gathered some food from the line and made her way to the table.
"This seat open?" she asked hopefully.

Marcus glanced up to notice a beautiful young blonde wearing the Atlantis equivilant of BDU's and nodded, standing up as she took the seat, not out of rank but out of the fact that she was a woman and he did his best to live up to the way his mother raised him.
"I don't think we've met," he said as he took his seat again. "Major Marcus Lorne."

"Kelsey Siddles," Kelsey smiled sitting down. "I haven't seen manners like that since I was little," she teased.

"Well what can I say, my mother raised me right and my father raised me as a cowboy." Marcus grinned before nodding at her jacket, black stripes, "Military, be careful of teasing superior officers."

"Marine," Kelsey said with a laugh. "I'm used to it. It's called for when you're the only female in your squad, and especially a blonde."

"Ah well," Marcus said with a small nod, "Can I first apologize on behalf of the entire male species? I know my mother would probably shave me bald if she ever heard some of the things I've talked about with my squad."

Kelsey laughed and nodded her head. "That's okay, my father would disown me if he knew what I've done and said to the male of this world," she teased.
Making friends she thought was going to be difficult, but with Marcus, it seemed easy and she liked the feeling of making friends easy.

"Whoa," Marcus said putting one hand up, "First, way too much information for your CO to have and second, my mother raised me right I do not want to hear anything ." He grinned at her.

"Oh pardon me, your virgin ears," she said with grin as she plopped a grape into her mouth. "You're not like the other Majors I've worked under."

"Thank you for using the term virgin and working under in the same sentence." Marcus chuckled softly, "And I'm a pretty easy going guy. I think growing up on a ranch I burned off all of my boyhood energy."

"Rancher eh?" Kelsey smiled. "Where are you from?"

Marcus looked up at her, "Wyoming, born and raised."

"You don't say?" Kelsey smiled. "I'm from Loving, Texas. Population 52. I was born in New York when my Mom and Dad first got married, but Dad moved us, my older sister and brother and I, to Loving when I was like...two weeks old."

Marcus laughed softly, "I think there was about 52 miles between us and the first real 'city' so I know that number well."

"Oh yeah," Kelsey smiled. "The two hour bus ride to school every morning, and then back again after school. I went to this one school, litterly kindergarden to grade 12, in Bryson... come to think of it, it was Bryson Public School. I never thought spending thirteen years with the same people would drive me as far as Atlantis, but it did.
"Small town kids just can't wait to get out of that town and find the big city, but instead, we travelled into another galaxy where the population on the base is as big as our towns huh?"
