---

He called me 'Teal'c of the Tau'ri.'

All Jaffa do that.

It flatters me, but it also wounds me.

Deeper than I shall ever admit.

Because while to him, I am nearly human, to Humans, I am Jaffa.

Foreign.

An outsider.

Alien.

I do not belong.

With Jaffa or Humans.

I have no home.

I fit nowhere.

Generally I do not mind my solitude, but there are times when the darkness threatens to overwhelm me.

A hand falls on my shoulder.

Jack O'Neill.

"So, T, what'cha doin' tonight? Wanna catch a movie?"

Perhaps I am wrong.

This feels like home.
