It's a great honor Carter. Really!

Chapter Text

"Sir."

"Carter."

"You don't need to stay sir."

"Teal'c told me someone needed to be here while he couldn't." Jack explained mildly.

"I'd prefer you didn't." She said wistfully.

"Oh, it's not so bad." He said soothingly.

"Not so bad? Not so bad?! I am covered in… What is this stuff anyway sir?"

"Looks kind of like that glitter slime Cassie likes to make."

"It feels like snot and it's on every single inch of my body Sir."

"Danny says it's some local custom. It's supposed to be a great honor." He grinned. She really did look cute covered in sparkly lavender glistening slime.

"Sir." He voice hit a watery whine. "It's soaking into my underwear."

Jack slowly developed a traumatized look on his face as he tried very hard not to think about glitter… there…

"Alright, I'll leave you alone." He turned and walked out of the gossamer tent as he shoved his hands deep in his pockets.
