POV Janet:

As I struggle to help the Jaffa that was rushed into the infirmary, I can feel his eyes on me. I can hear his silent pleas to help his comrade in arms. I have done all I could, now it is up to the Jaffa's own system to help heal him.

"I've done all I could." I call over my shoulder. Over my shoulder to where he is standing, with another silent one at his side. As I sidestep to leave him a moment with the injured Jaffa, he grabs my hand.

"And that is all that is required…I truly appreciate it." he says to comfort me.

Now I sit in my quarters trying to figure out what this funny feeling is. I felt like a spark went up my arm when he touched me. Everyone thinks that I'm attracted to Daniel. Well, what they didn't know was that I'm drawn to older men. In this case, waaaaaay older. I chuckle at this thought. I strip of the dirty clothes and step into the warm rushing water of the shower. 'What I wouldn't give for a night of relaxation at home.'

When I rounded the corner to return to the infirmary, I ran straight into something hard. Correct that, someone was that hard object I ran into. I glanced up and was looking into the perceptive eyes of one Master Bray'tac. He smiles and reaches to pull me off the floor.

"I am terribly sorry for bumping into you Dr. Frazier. Please accept my apologies."

"No apologies needed Master Bray'tac. It was my fault, I was lost in my own little world."

He gave a small laugh. "I am still getting used to these Earth sayings that are frequently used. Teal'c has managed to pick up quite a lot in his few years here."

I shrugged. "You'll get used to them I guess. So, if you don't mind me asking, where are you off to in such a hurry?"

He paused, and then replied, "I was off to see Teal'c and DanielJackson, and they said they came across something in those translations."

"Oh," I said. "I'm going to check on your Jaffa friend. He seems to be pulling through at the moment."

"Thank you very much Doctor," he looked thoughtful for a second. "Say Doctor, would you mind showing me some Earth sights after your work has ended?"

I was taken aback in surprise. I never thought that the Master would ask Jack or Daniel, but not me. Before I could think things through I replied: "Sure, but I have to get clearance from General Hammond."

"It would be lovely to get a view of Earth from you Doctor."

"We'll go, but only if you call me Janet." I laughed.

"Of course, as long as you refer to me simply as Bray'tac." he chuckled.

I kept looking at the clock, waiting desperately for my shift to be done. All the while thoughts were racing through my head about Bray'tac. 'Boy, I could gaze into those eyes forever!' Whoa, where did that thought come from? True, I had always respected the Jaffa warrior, but when did I start to see him in a different light? How is this possible? Ah, no time to dwell on that now….shift is over in ten minutes. After receiving permission from the General Hammond, I mused over the places I could take Bray'tac. 'Let's stick with the good ol' dinner and entertainment. Guest gets to choose.'

When I arrived at the surface, Bray'tac was waiting for me. His smile brightened when he glanced my way. I felt myself unknowingly blush at his scrutiny.

"You look very lovely Janet. I hope I am not intruding on your presence this evening."

"Oh no, Bray'tac. This is just the sort of diversion that will help me relax."

"Now, let's see what Earth has to offer, shall we?" he offered his arm to me. I looped my arm through his, smile reaching to the corners of my eyes.
