Vala jumped gracefully on the side of his hospital bed as he reached the bottom of the ramp, under the disapproving look of the nurse pushing him towards the infirmary. They exchanged a genuine smile, before she produced a Goa'uld healing device.

"Actually, you know what? Do fuss all you want."

She chuckled and sat more comfortably when he scooted over for her. Her hand gingerly slipped into his and he squeezed it.

"Welcome home, Daniel."
