[Rodney says it in the dryest, least amused way possible, and of course, of course the disgust has nothing to do with John or what John had been doing. Not really. It's more to do with the complicated tangle of emotions that comes up when he actually witnesses what it is he's always accusing John of. A strange mix of jealousy and envy and anxious admiration and maybe, just maybe a hint of arousal he'd rather not be feeling.
All of that boils down to a very, very vulnerable feeling that he certainly doesn't enjoy, much less in front of a complete stranger when he's exhausted and shaken and that stranger seems to have zero respect for privacy or common decency.
Huffing to himself, he avoids eye contact with either of them as he digs in the freezer for the waffles. In fact, he avoids making visual contact with any part of either of their bodies, having gotten enough of an eyeful of both of them earlier. Instead, he becomes deeply focused on inserting the waffles into the toaster, on getting out several plates to put them on, on making a pot of very, very strong coffee.]
Yes well, sit down then. They'll be done in a moment.
