Getting permission.
SG1 were being shown around the large village by Owain, they had finished feeding the animals and were trying to find out where they kept the young girl when she was around, without looking too suspicious. As they rounded a corner they saw several men struggling to keep the girl under control.
One of the men broke off from the group and came up to them. He spoke to Owain in Welsh and indicated to the girl.
"Teal'c, shoot the girl with your Zat." Jack whispered.
The tall Jaffa walked up to the group and aimed his Zat'nik'itel, the men backed away while the girl cowered on the floor.
"I am sorry, you will be alright." He said to the girl and shot her once.
The girl crumpled to the muddy ground as the blue lightening bolts engulfed her. The men looked from the form on the floor, to Teal'c, then to the girl again.
Jack was busy speaking to the men in welsh, Teal'c picked up the girl and brought her to him.
"I do not know if she is strong enough to survive another beating O'Neill."
"Kay Teal'c, thanks buddy." He turned to the villager he was talking to again and continued. "Teal'c, give them the girl."
"But Sir!"
"I know Carter, just give them the girl." He sighed.
The girl was given back and Owain took them back to the farm.
-----------------------------------------
"Jack, what was that about?" Daniel demanded as they walked back.
"I explained that the Zat just stunned her, they wanted to take the Zat so they could use it, but I said it's Teal'cs and he gets cranky if people take his stuff. They said that they needed it more because of the evil child!" He spat. "Evil? I mean come on!"
"They think she's cursed Jack." Jackson said.
"I know. Well anyway, I said we could take her off their hands. They think Teal'c was evil and we... uh, kind of used exorcism to get you good."
"I do not mind O'Neill."
"Good, well I think they bought it, they said they'd think about it."
"So what do we do in the mean time?"
"Well we can't do anything without their permission so Major, we stay at the farm. You like horses right?"
"Yes Sir."
"Care to teach an old man how to ride one?"
"You can't ride a horse?" Asked Daniel in disbelief.
"It's not a question of can't, merely haven't, ever. And just remember the pigs Danny boy!"
"Even I have ridden a horse O'Neill."
"Don't rub it in guys."
"Colonel, I will be happy to teach you."
"Thank you Owain." He said poking his tongue out at Sam.
--------------------------
SG1 spent the night at the farm, none of them had to share a room once Sam had told Molly that she and Jack weren't married, much to Molly's surprise. They spent the afternoon in the fields with the horses, and the evening talking about other planets they've visited, Daniels ascension, General Hammond, Doctor Fraiser and Cassandra.
The next day, one of the younger villagers from the day before, strolled up to the house.
"Hylô!"
"Helô Daffydd." Said Owain walking out of the cottage, SG1 following him.
"Wel? Beth nhw'n siarad? (Well? What did they say?)" Asked Jack.
"Nhw'n siarad ie. (They said yes)"
"Diolch yn fawr i chi. (Thank you very much)"
"Dim problem. (No problem) I trust you will take good care of her?"
"You speak English?!" Jack spluttered.
"Daniel taught me. I am Daffydd, the girls youngest, older brother."
"Huh! Okay shall we go get her?"
"She was beaten again, when she woke up from that thing." He said waving his arm at Teal'cs Zat.
"Cac!" Owain swore and ran off towards the village, with SG1 and Daffydd following.
