"Colonel, permission to take Commander Hartman to see the mines?" Sam
requested later in the day.
"Take Teal'c with you. I'll stay here and enjoy the cultural exchange with Danny."
"Daniel make sure he doesn't offend anyone this time." Sam suggested.
"Hey it wasn't my fault last time how was I supposed to know?" Jack protested.
"You're just lucky they found it funny after I explained it to them." Daniel replied. "Don't worry he's in safe hands." He winked at Sam.
"Report in every hour on the hour."
"Yes sir. Teal'c, Myles." Sam prompted. Teal'c bowed his head, collecting his staff weapon from where he had rested it and prepared to follow her.
"Where exactly is this mine?" Myles asked.
"One klick in that direction." Sam pointed.
"A whole klick?" He questioned.
"Yes. Why do you have a problem walking that far?"
"No, no my job just doesn't involve walking any distance more than a couple hundred yards usually."
"This is a walk in the park right Teal'c?"
"Indeed Major Carter." He agreed.
"It's usually five or six clicks to what Daniel wants to see, maybe more."
"Does he always call you Major Carter?"
"Yes. Teal'c is a great one for formality. Jack's the only he reduces the name for. But that's because of their special bond."
"So where exactly are you from Teal'c?"
"Chulak." He replied.
"Jack threw a large party at the base for Teal'c's one hundredth birthday last year." Sam added.
"You're one hundred years old?" Myles asked stunned.
"One hundred one." Teal'c corrected.
"Wow, you don't look it."
"It is with thanks to my symbiote that I have retained my health and vitality."
"Still you only look about 30 35 max."
"Major Samantha." A voice called. Sam stopped and turned around.
"Pangit." The young woman ran up and gave Sam a hug. "It's great to see you again."
"You also. It has been too many moon since you were last here."
"
"Teal'c." Teal'c bowed his head to her.
"Pangit this is Commander Myles." Sam introduced her.
"Welcome to Keliopi Commander Myles."
"It's great to be here."
"Pangit is Tangit's only daughter, she has seven brothers." Sam explained.
"Are you going towards the mines?" Pangit asked.
"Yes. Myles would like to see them." Sam replied.
"Then I will walk with you."
"That would be great. So how is Kavan?" Sam asked as she started walking.
"He has grown so big since you were last here. He can now padfoot small distances by himself."
"That's great. I'll have to drop by and see him before we leave. He was only a tiny baby when I was last here."
"Lieutenant Thomas informed me that you and Colonel Jack had been bonded."
"Yes. We are having a big celebrate in a few days." Sam replied.
"Will you soon procreate?" Pangit asked. Sam who was getting used to awkward questions didn't even blush.
"My superiors won't let me come through the Chapp'ai if I am with child, so right now I need to be helping to defeat the Goa'uld maybe in a few years time."
"That will be a time to celebrate."
"Indeed it will. You know I missed you Pangit."
"And I you."
"So tell me did Manit ever manage to get Hiulta to agree to be bonded with him?"
"Indeed he did. But only after he filled her house with Dagnlian blooms and wrote her a poemeta"
"Poemeta?" Myles questioned.
"Love poem." Sam supplied. She went back to catching up on the gossip with Pangit as they walked. Myles glanced at Teal'c, who did not seem to think it was odd. Myles shrugged it off and went back to look around.
