Disclaimer; I do not own Stargate SG-1, and I make no money from this little fic.
"So if we go to P54-7X2, I can get rubbings of the inscriptions, and I can get an actual feel and sense of the writings. A language isn't just about how it's written; it's about the carvings and all of, yes Vala?" I turned from my conversation with Jack to see Vala holding a small package.
"I came to give you your Christmas gift, as I'm going to be off-world tomorrow." I was slightly stumped as I wasn't sure Vala was aware of what Christmas was, but I thanked her anyway. But as she walked off, I eyed the package dubiously, and continued speaking to Jack, as soon as I started talking, he interrupted,
"Not gonna open it?"
"Not until it undergoes a thorough investigation" he just looked at me as if to say 'you scrooge'. So I slowly and painstakingly unwrapped the gift from Vala, and held out a pair of feminine underwear. Jack sniggered and pointed to the note.
My Dearest Daniel,
It is my understanding that the people of Earth receive these items as gifts at Christmastime.
Merry Christmas
Love
Vala Mal Doran
I read the note, then promptly left to explain to Vala what type of stockings were required at Christmas.
