“You almost became a what?” Rodney asked, incredulous.

“A priest, Rodney.” Lorne didn't smile but his dimples may have deepened just a bit. “I was seventeen,” he explained. “I was very devout, came from a deeply Irish Catholic upbringing.”

“So what changed your mind?”

“You mean, aside from the whole 'gay' and 'can't handle celibacy' things?” Lorne asked with a pointed eyebrow lift.

Rodney made an impatient gesture. “Yes, of course, aside from those things.”

Lorne shrugged, giving it a moments thought. “Being gay was about it.”

“So, wait.” Rodney's eyes glittered a little. “Can you talk dirty in Latin?”

Ah ha ha... More Rodney/Lorne for the world. It is such an awesome thing. Oh Lorne as a priest... that inspires many a dirty thought. Seriously though I'm really inspried and I think I might actually have to go to chruch tomorrow because of it (Catholic, though not at all Irish). I can so see the whole being gay thing being a probably. Funny though that he joined the Air Force where it's almost as much of a problem, but not quite.

Oh and Rodney, getting right to the important stuff. *fangirls all over this*

Rodney's "Can you talk dirty in Latin?" is perfect! And I'm glad Lorne chose the military. ;)
