Drabble word: Insouciant Marked by blithe unconcern

He always appeared insouciant but looks were deceiving. Underneath that stoic exterior was a man with opinions and logical answers. His facial expressions defied reading. They betrayed nothing.

Perhaps only Jack realized the depth of Teal'c's personal sacrifice to remain with the Tau'ri. Their lives paralleled in an odd sort of way. Branded a traitor by his own people, the big Jaffa had left his wife and son while Jack masked his similar losses with his sardonic wit.

Others found Teal'c cryptic. But, when push came to shove, no one, not even Jack O'Neill, misunderstood that Jaffa revenge thing. Nobody.
