"Gwen! Can we rest … for just a minuet!" Sam gasped clutching her side, the team stopped and sat heavily on the ground. Gwen hurried back to them, her face flushed, "My apologies, I forgot myself"

"Not to worry…sit down" Jack waved at her, Gwen looked at the earth under her feet before sitting down crossed legged.

After a few moments of awkward silence Teal'c ventured to question their small host, "Where are we headed?" Gwen turned her large eyes to him and smiled,

"To the settlement of the Hö'íán people" Teal'c raised an eyebrow.

"Was that not our original destination"

"No, I was taking you to Edaline, king of the Hö'íán people. But now I am taking you to the Hö'íán settlement"

"Is that the settlement the MALP picked up, Carter?" Sam shrugged,

"I assume so, Sir"

"It can't be" Daniel pointed out, "That settlement was a mile away from the gate"

"It couldn't have been, we would have passed it by now" Jack reasoned,

"Maybe the MALP was wrong"

"Hey!" Jack straightened up a bit, "Don't insult Fred"

"You named the MALP?"

"Yes"

"Fred"

"Yes!"

Sam rolled her eyes as the exchanged between the two men continued, Teal'c was studying their surroundings and Gwen was fidgeting with the sleeves of her tunic absentmindedly. Sam sighed and was about to suggest ending the pointless argument taking place when a shrill whistle sounded from in front of them ceasing all activity.

Gwen stood up, dusted herself off and informed them; "The King has returned, I suggest we continue to move. If we make good time you will not have to make the extra trip to my people", before turning and heading off again.

The four humans quickly followed suit.

Sam knew that in front of them had been dense undergrowth and huge trees, that the colonel kept shooting suspicious looks at in case they opened hidden eyes, and yet they suddenly entered the village within a few steps. She shook her head giddily and noticed the others doing the same; she looked at Gwen who appeared to be swaying and put a hand on her shoulder to steady her.

It was like touching a corpse and she immediately flinched away and hurriedly looked around, anywhere but at the small girl who was cursing under her breath and appeared not to have noticed her hand.

The village looked big enough to be called a town but Sam decided not to trust her sense of depth at the moment and instead studied the thatched huts that had so suddenly surrounded them.

Gwen looked back at SG-, each member so engaged in looking at their surroundings, before running away.

Ok, I know this is short, I think it is unfinished but judging from the length of the previous chapters I'm not too sure. I still want to finish this story and then revise it before the sequel, in case you haven't guessed this may take a while. :(
