Moving to the edge of the room, Aeryn chewed on her bottom lip as she tried to make sense of what had just occured. Jack and River certainly seemed to have reached an understanding, but with only half the 'conversation' having been heard, Aeryn had no idea just what else had transpired.
However, seeing Rose was a pleasant surprise. Aeryn nodded to the blonde in greeting, but watched as Jack and she interacted. They certainly seemed to have a history, for sure. And from the body language that each presented, it wasn't wholly platonic. But then, noone could claim that, with Captin Jack Harkness, thought Aeryn.
Instead, as they cleaned up the mess, she moved in silence to the table and picked up a handgun. Sliding catches she'd seen River use, Aeryn had it stripped down in less than two minutes. As with River, each piece was laid out in a neat line, nearly as perfect as River's own. Now caught up in the moment, she started the reassmbly job, her mind automatically seeing the shapes and positions of the parts she'd just disassembled. Considering this was the first time she'd ever dismantled an Earther's gun, she made surprisingly few mistakes, reassembling it in little under three minutes. With practise, she could make it look like childs' play.
Although, while she knew John was capable, and instinctively she knew that he could handle weapons... something vague told her that he wasn't military. That he was actually more scientist than fighter.

That was a new thought for her.
