"Jack will you sit down" Daniel said as he watched him pace back and forth
"What?" he replied probably not listening to what was being asked of him
"Sit" Daniel gestured towards the seat he had been sat on which was now occupied by a small blue elephant
He gave in at that request scrubbing a hand over his head as he did so before moving the soft toy and finally sat down.
They had been held for several hours now and Jack was starting to get inpatient how many times did he have to listen to Daniel try and fix a mess he got them into without success
I would have been so much easier to fight their way out had they still had all their equipment but no they took it and Daniel said it was maybe a good way to show they meant no harm if they did give it to them.
So they sat in what the Custodians called a jail, it wasn't much of one because to be honest Jack knew they could have easily made it out and back to the gate theoretically with no problem. But Daniel wanted to 'fix' the problem for better relations so they were still there.
"Got anything yet?" Jack asked
"Yes"
"Can we go home now?"
"No"
"No..Whatcha mean no? Jack asked raising his voice but still keeping it in its whisper form
"We've disrespected one of the most sacred beliefs"
"Which is?
"Equality"
"You said we viewed each other as equal right"
"No, I said we viewed our woman in this case Sam as our equal"
"And we do"
"On Earth yes, as far as I've been able to ascertain here with the help of a few people for all their women are equal to them they are also honoured and respected more because of what they can give"
"Which is?"
"Life"
"As in"
"Pretty much yeah"
"I'm not gonna like this am I?
"The Elder only wants Sam to come say she's sorry on our behalf."
"Oh no"
"Jack"
"She isn't doing it"
"Daniel Jackson it is unwise for Major Carter to travel at this time"
"You didn't tell them about."
"No"
"Take one of them back through the gate with us they can see Carter there" Jack said
"They won't"
"Why?"
"They don't believe in using the gate as it's designed only to be used by the 'one' or people from the gifted land itself, or to us Earth"
"Right"
"Daniel Jackson" Tobias spoke approaching him
"Ah yes"
"The Elders are ready to let you return"
Jack let out a silent "yes" to that
"When can we leave?" Jack asked
"You can not" Tobias answered
"Why?"
"The Elders agreed only to that of Daniel so he may assist Samantha Carter as she is unwell"
"Daniel, under no circumstances"
"I know"
"What?" he replied probably not listening to what was being asked of him
