for this. As it is thought, so let it be said; you make the toys, I
play with 'em.
Daniel rolled his eyes as he watched his friends while pretending to be
engrossed in his journal. Jack had just tried to pick up an
artifact from Daniel's desk as he stared at Sam in a fascinated daze
while she
explained the physics she and Daniel had just deciphered. Without
missing a beat, she'd taken the would-be toy out of her commanding
officer's hand and replaced it with a mini Rubik's square she'd pulled
out of her pocket.
Daniel would be willing to bet that the few seconds that his buddy held
the cube without moving had more to do with feeling the heat it carried
from the enthusiastic astrophysicist's body than with any annoyance at
having the alien piece of wavy rock taken from him. Before the
man could really
start messing up the coloured sides, a tall shadow crossed the room's
threshold and came to stand behind the colonel.
Teal'c's arm swung out and slapped the back of Jack's head, making him
stumble and drop his toy as everyone blinked in mild surprise. He
was just straightening and opening his mouth to complain when the big
man shifted and slapped the back of Sam's head, visibly not as hard.
She opened her mouth to squawk a protest, but Jack beat her to it,
obviously forgetting what he'd been about to say and stepping up to his
friend with a glare and clenched fists and jaw, snarling, "What the
*hell*'s gotten into you, T?!"
The calm Jaffa raised a brow, "It was brought to my attention last
evening
that it is customary among the Tau'ri for the 'best friend' to 'slap
sense' into couples being fools." He bowed his head with his usual
bland smile and walked back out of the room without further ado.
".."
"..What?!"
Sam still couldn't speak and Jack was still sputtering when Daniel
started laughing and walked out after their friend, turning at the last
minute with a grin, "You know, sometimes I can't help but really admire
that man." He'd almost closed the door before peaking around the
corner again, "Oh, and I think I'll go visit Siler and have him pull
the tapes on these cameras for the next little while, so... why don't
you two... 'talk' some sense at each other? Wouldn't want to
ignore Teal'c, I
think his feelings might get hurt."
