Vala kneeled next to Daniel in front of a temple wall. They were both working on translating the Goa'uld dialect carved into the stone. Despite her distaste for "book work", Vala's time as Qetesh and the knowledge left over made tasks like this go faster, and they were almost finished. She leaned in front of Daniel intent on brushing some dirt away from the engraved letter it was obscuring. Suddenly, she froze in awareness. Her hand stopped its movement on the wall.
Daniel cleared his throat and ran a hand through his hair.
Vala straightened up to face him. Daniel refused to meet her eyes. She smiled kindly at his flushed face and neck, much like she would a small child.
"Daniel?"
"Um, Vala," he stammered. "I didn't... Well, I mean I, um-," he cleared his throat again. He was still a deep shade of red.
Vala took pity on him.
"Daniel, really darling, there's no need to be embarrassed. I'm an attractive woman; you're an attractive man. It's only natural." She put a cool hand to his cheek. "Now, let's just forget about it and return to translating these writings, shall we?"
"Jackson," Cam spoke from where he was leaning against the wall opposite them. "What's she accusing you of this time?"
"Nothing," Daniel managed to say as he turned back to his notes.
"Well, I would hardly call it nothing," Vala scoffed.
"I thought you said we'd forget about it?" Daniel glared at her betrayal.
"Not if you're going to lie about what happened, Daniel. That's not the right thing to do," she reminded him.
"Wait," Cam smirked, a big smile forming on his face. "Jackson, what did you do?"
"Drop it, Mitchell."
"Drop what?" Sam asked, returning from checking the perimeter.
"Jackson's red as a beet, and he's not talking about it," Cam shared.
Daniel sighed heavily, and Vala put an arm around his shoulders. "Come now, everyone. Let's leave Daniel alone. You've teased him quite enough for one day," Vala defended.
"Thank you, Vala," Daniel muttered.
"But, Daniel, really the next time you want to smell my hair, you don't have to be so embarrassed about it. You don't even have to ask. I don't mind."
"Vala!"
"Really!"
