Aeryn sat comfortably leaning against John, listening to his steady breathing as they rested in each others' arms. Finally, she sighed, then moved, the leather of her jacket rubbing against leather making a loud noise in the quiet of the room. "I think we should go and try to find the Doctor, John. Surely if they haven't found a solution yet, he can be spared to discuss other things?"

They'd both been reluctant to interrupt the Doctor when he'd started to help translate the books that had been brought in, but Aeryn hadn't really been able to settle yet. "What do you think?"

Aeryn sat down on a nearby chair with a light thump. She sighed and ran a hand through her long, black hair. "So, Pa'u's virtually out of reach? Even if we can get your ship working, I don't even know how east it would be to accurately target a specific point in time and space."

She turned dark eyes to John. "And D'argo's growing up without us." she said, her voice nearly breaking with grief. "All of these chances are nothing more than Budongs in a nebula, so crushingly small that really, we're talking impossibilities. You're the mathematician, try and calculate the odds, John, we're frelled."

John went to one knee in front of the chair Aeryn was sitting in and reached out to cup her face, needing that connection with her, needing her to see and hear him. He looked into her dark eyes, "We're only frelled if we believe that we are, Aeryn," he said quietly, keeping his voice low and firm. He felt like he was being torn apart on the inside, but he wouldn't let any of that show in his voice. "You're right, I am the mathematician, and I'll work with the Doctor to find out the point in time that we vanished, as closely as I can. I may be off by a couple of days, but that's better than a couple of months," he gave her a small, quirky grin. He leaned in and kissed her brow before pushing to his feet again.

He turned blue eyes to Rose, "When can I talk to him? Mister Man. The Doctor?"

Despite John's reassurances, Aeryn was slowly going out of her mind. She couldn't go outside to help, she was stuck here, worrying about nothing more than P'au.

John's earnest promise didn't help to calm her mind, because Aeryn was starting to feel trapped. However, she let him think she was calming down.

Inside, she was seething with the helpless feeling, a feeling she would never admit to feeling.
