I loved this! Rodney getting all logical and deductive all of a sudden (while still managing to make only dubious sense, at first), going from accusatory to sweet while Sheppard's being all dense and annoyed. Hee.
This was my favorite bit:
"I'm not poisoned. I'm not delirious. However, the fact remains that I shared my last TimTam with you."
"And we're back to this nonsense. This is some kind of torture, isn't it?" Sheppard sighed. "I swear, McKay, there are times when you make Antarctica look like a warm, welcoming place."
Rodney let out a short grunt of pure frustration. Then he grabbed the Major's arm, pulled him to a stop and explained it in very simple terms. "There are people I have slept with who I wouldn't share my chocolate with. There are people I admire and care about who I wouldn't share my chocolate with. If it came to a choice between my cat and my TimTams, I would have trouble deciding."
