Water
By ErikaHK
Teyla always thought that there was nothing more relaxing than the sound of water.
The rain, a well, a tap, a river, the shower from Atlantis, a beach, a balcony overlooking the ocean...
A lake with a waterfall usually featured on the top of the list. Specially when it was in a small valley surrounded by deep forest with the colors of a tropical paradise.
The blue green liquid washed away the dirt on her feet and refreshed her hot and sweaty skin. She took some water in her hands and splashed over her body, washing her face and arms. She filled the canteen then drank some of it, immediately feeling its healing effects on her tiredness.
Stepping onto soft grass, she smiled as she headed back inside the shade of the tent. She was glad to find the inside still fresh from the high temperatures from the day. Teyla put down the bag of fruits and knelt by the sleeping bag. John's body still shook from fever, his brow wet and his face pale. The wet piece of cloth was warm, so Teyla replaced it with a fresh one using the old to clean his face. She tenderly caressed his cheek and wiped the droplets of sweat, careful not to disturb his sleep when she reached the growing hairs on his face.
She put a hand under his black shirt and found his chest drenched as well. Opening all the buttons, she exposed all of his torso, and cleaned it with fresh water. His temperature was still very hot, but had diminished greatly from when he had started showing the signs of infection. When she was done, she moved to his ankle and lifted the bandage there. The wound was still swollen and red, but the blisters and pus were all gone. She poured water over the injury, cleaned it then dressed it with clean gauze.
A soft moan snapped her from the task.
"Teyla..."
She smiled. "John, it is all right. You are safe." She touched the side of his warm face with the back of her hand. "The others will arrive soon."
His eyes didn't open.
"Next time you wake up, it will be in the Atlantis infirmary."
The End
